Fallen Tree Cleared By SCP Private Fire Search & Rescue | Northcliff

06 April 2025




At 08:18, our Control Room was alerted to a fallen tree obstructing the roadway in Northcliff. The SCP Private Fire Search and Rescue Crew was immediately deployed to assess and mitigate the situation.


Upon arrival, the team discovered the fallen tree had caused collateral damage to adjacent perimeter walls. Crew members promptly initiated safe removal procedures to clear the roadway. Due to the complexity of the operation, temporary road closure measures were implemented.
