This tree was one of many that crashed to earth last Sunday. Picture courtesy of Pakenham SES.NARRE Warren SES volunteers spent 12 hours helping storm victims after fierce winds lashed parts of Casey on Sunday.
Three units were called out to about 70 jobs from 1.30pm.
They didn’t call it a day until the majority of the damage was cleaned up at 1.30am on Monday.
Houses in Berwick, Narre Warren, Hampton Park and Doveton suffered damage from the winds.
Fallen trees were the most common reason for callouts with limbs crashing on to houses and sheds.
Parts of Casey were also without power for several hours after uprooted trees crashed down on power lines.
Narre Warren SES spokeswoman Kanny Lee said about 15 volunteers worked throughout the day to offer assistance to those in need.
“It was all wind related. We had quite a few houses which were severely damaged from trees,” Ms Lee said.
“We had as many members out in the field as we could. We were also called out the next day to about six or seven more clean up jobs.”
Ms Lee said no one was injured in the incidents.
Pakenham SES volunteers were also kept busy on the day and attended several call outs in the Berwick area.
