Very interesting read.

The fatality rate for EMTs is estimated to be about 13 fatalities per 100,000 workers annually, while police and firefighters are 14 and 17, respectively. The estimated fatal rate for tree workers ranges from 60 to 105 per 100,000 workers – and that is under normal conditions. The environment during and following natural disasters is overlaid with an array of hazards that increase risk of injury or death for first responders, including tree care providers.

Deputies have been running around all morning for wires down, blocking trees, and car collisions. For those in rural areas, please proceed with extra caution as there are a number of trees leaning up against power lines and hanging over the road. Shout out to Puget Sound Energy, third party contractors, and our firefighter partners for working to get the roadways opened and power back on line.

The Myth of Tree Topping:
"It’s like a haircut – sometimes it’s necessary and a tree can always grow out of a bad one"

The Myth
Since plant scientists and arborists unanimously agree that tree topping is an unjustifiable tree management practice, I assumed that the word had trickled down to practitioners and their customers. Yet this summer, like every year before, brought a new crop of buzz-cut trees. It also brought a new crop of excuses (culled
from the internet):
• “I want to trim the top branches off a 75' tall maple because it’s causing excess shade in my yard.
I want the tree to live, but just be smaller.”
• “I wouldn't make the sweeping generalization that all tree topping is bad…Locals here whack
their weeping willows every few years and those trees seem to relish the opportunity to fill out
again.”
• “It is necessary for the electric company to top trees that grow into the power lines.”
• “The trees look like hell for a while but seem to get used to the treatment.”

The Bottom Line
• Tree topping is never a justifiable pruning practice; it increases tree health problems and is
aesthetically unappealing
• A topped tree will require constant maintenance and has an increased potential to become
hazardous
• Hazardous trees are a liability and ultimately the property owner is responsible for any damage
hazard trees cause
• Certified arborists and other legitimate landscape professionals do not practice tree topping
• There are acceptable pruning techniques designed to keep trees away from power lines and other
structures
• If problems caused by a tree cannot be solved through acceptable management practices, the tree
should be removed and replaced with plant material more appropriate for the site
• Think about the mature size of a tree and where it will grow relative to power lines and other structures before you plant it

Don't let this happen to you!
This unfortunate situation could have been prevented.
I approached this house this last summer concerning their dead trees. They responded with no thank you, they are fine.
6 months later they don't look fine!
Dead trees are nothing to procrastinate on.
