If a limb is dangling or down, does the Forester need to be notified right away?

If the limb is not blocking the road and a firetruck can get through, it is not considered an emergency. These can be on a service request log and can be answered as soon as the Forestry crews can get to them. If the limb is considered a safety issue, the Forestry crew will address it accordingly.
