Call about a tree emergency

Safety first in Nevada

Stay well away from any downed wire and anything touching it. Call 911 for injuries or lines down, then the utility.

What you can safely do

  • Look up and around for wires before going near a fallen tree.
  • Photograph and video everything for insurance before cutting.
  • Keep people, pets and vehicles clear of the trunk and root plate.

Leave these to professionals

  • Don't cut a trunk or limb that's bent under load yourself.
  • Don't stand on the downhill side of a trunk on a slope.
  • Don't try to free a car by cutting under the trunk resting on it.
