Windy Saturday for Chelsea SES

Tree down in Mulkarra Drive, Chelsea

This was typical of the jobs that kept the crews from Chelsea SES busy on Saturday (06/02/2010)

As the clouds swept away on Saturday (06/02/2010) the wind swept in keeping Chelsea SES crews busy all day.

Typical of the jobs from Saturday

No major jobs, but lots of small ones; like trees down in yards as well as on roads, driveways and footpaths, small roof jobs for flapping sheets of iron and similar.

Clearing up the mess

More than a dozen requests for help were received between 3pm and 11pm with crews preparing for what could be a busy Saturday night on the eve of Black Saturday.

Member Rob Gowling At The Scene

The jobs were located in Chelsea, Bonbeach, Carrum and Patterson Lakes.

This large tree brought power lines down in Carrum

This was the largest job of the day when this huge tree came down, luckily missing buildings but bringing down power lines in Dahmen Street in Carrum.
