The ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) has responded to Banks tonight where a large tree is in danger of falling on a house.

The ACTSES Tuggeranong unit is on scene in Pocket Avenue working with the help of the ACT Fire & Rescue Bronto aerial platform to cut down the 12 metre long tree that has become unstable because of heavy winds.

A crew from the ACTSES Woden unit is also on scene providing lighting as the task is expected to take up to several hours to complete.

I always wondered whether innocent until proven guilty applied to the plant kingdom…

I’d go the other way … pre-emptive imprisonment for the spawn of criminal scum before they get the chance to graduate to being criminal scum in their own right. Better still, retrospective abortion.

“It’s coming right for us!”

Was that a tree in your Pocket?

lol, “12m long tree”

I always wondered whether innocent until proven guilty applied to the plant kingdom…
