Call about a tree emergency

Safety first in Kansas

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

  • Get people and pets out of rooms under or near the tree.
  • Shut off gas at the meter if you smell gas, and leave the house.
  • Photograph the scene from a safe distance before anything is moved.
  • Call your insurer early. Many policies want to know before major work.

Leave these to professionals

  • Never go near or touch a tree that's touching a wire. Treat every line as live.
  • Don't try to cut a tree off a roof yourself. The weight can shift without warning.
  • Don't stand under hanging or cracked limbs to look at the damage.
  • Don't let anyone pressure you into signing a contract or assigning insurance benefits at the door.
