As experienced and trained firemen with 30 years combined experience, we at 3 Alarm Tree Rescue specialize in Emergency Tree Removal Services that gets a tree cut and cleared away day or night, during bad weather, or difficult situations. “Emergency” indicates that the removal needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible. At 3 Alarm Tree Rescue, we realize that and will be there when you need us. It is considered an emergency when a tree, limb or large section of a tree has fallen on your house, car, garage, commercial building or property. These situations require it to be removed immediately.
When we arrive, we will assess the situation and be certain that any imminent threat of danger is gone. We will tarp your roof to prevent water damage. Our priority is protecting your property, and we are there to help you get through the event by removing the tree. Your family’s safety, and our workers’ safety are our main concern. Our concern shows in the safety techniques and equipment we use. This is an area that sets us apart from other companies. Our training to work safely and effectively in emergency situations, combined with our equipment and knowledge in emergency tree removal services, make us your safest and best choice for your emergency.
Another reason for emergency tree removal services is when a tree is about to fall and could cause damage to the surrounding area, or individuals. Trees that have fallen on your home, or commercial building, should be removed immediately to prevent injury and further damage.
Reasons a Tree May Fall Unexpectedly:
- A tree may be growing, or leaning at an odd angle due to poor growth, and the unstable weight may cause them to fall without warning.
- Trees often fall over due to heavy flood waters causing the tree to uproot. They can fall over long after flood waters have receded.
- Hurricanes, tornadoes and damaging winds, ice storms and trees weakened from diseases, or root rot, are other reasons that trees may fall without warning.
These possible scenarios provide excellent reasons to have your trees regularly examined and maintained by 3 Alarm Tree Rescue.

Free Initial Assessment
Many homeowners who face the unfortunate occurrence of a tree that has fallen and damaged their property are extremely stressed and unaware of what to do.
1) Should I call my insurance company? Is this covered by my insurance company?
2) If my tree falls into my neighbor’s yard, am I responsible and liable for the damage?
3) What about damage to my own property, and am I covered?
4) Is a local tree service available immediately to remove the large tree that has fallen onto my house?
5) How long will it take to fix the hole in my roof?
6) Who is responsible for fixing the hole in my roof, and at whose expense?
These are all very good questions that arise during an emergency tree removal situation. In most cases, it is the insurance company that will be responsible for paying for these expenses.
Many factors will impact cost of the extraction. Usually, the more dangerous a tree extraction is, the more it will cost to have it removed. Large equipment will increase cost. We feel confident that you will be pleasantly surprised at the time and price involved to restore your property to a safe condition. Our contract is agreed to and signed when you fully understand and are in agreement after all work for your emergency tree services has been explained.
Any other questions you have such as:
Do you want the stumps ground and removed?
Do you want the debris hauled off?
Would you like Firewood cut if possible?
These questions and all other questions you have will be covered during your initial Free Assessment.
Tree Extraction
The type of equipment 3 Alarm Tree Rescue uses will depend on the situation of your emergency and the condition of the tree(s) being removed. Listed below are some of the benefits we offer and heavy equipment we employ, if the job is unable to be done by hand.
Big Red Truck
You can’t miss us! Our truck is essential for our work. We focus on being safe and effective. The faster we work, the more affordable we are to you.
Landscaping Tractors
We often bring small tractors to our jobs. They eliminate back injuries and make quick work of tree removal. We also carry plywood with every tractor so that we protect your yard. It allows us to efficiently remove the tree for a fair price, and leave your yard intact without tracks.
Cranes
At times, the safest and most effective way to remove a tree is from above. When there is a need for crane work on the job, we have preferred companies that always provide a crane operator who is experienced with the specific crane they are sending us.
Storms
When storms hit an area, we work in the area for multiple clients, but we do prioritize our repeat customers who have tree issues caused by storms. Our crews are trained to work safely in a variety of emergency conditions.
Standard Tree Removal
Often the situation doesn’t permit the use of labor saving equipment, and the tree must be brought down with ropes and tackle. That is when our professional work practices pay off. Our clean and well maintained equipment, operated safely minimizes damage to your property.
