Narre Warren SES crews were called out to 36 incidents, mainly of fallen trees, during a weekend of wild weather.

A spokesperson said most of the trees down in Casey on 4 and 5 April were causing either a traffic hazard or had fallen on homes and vehicles.

“Wet grounds and strong winds can make trees unstable, as was the case for a large tree found to be resting on a neighbour’s roof in Harkaway,” a Narre Warren SES spokesperson said.

About 5pm on 5 April, the crew was called out to a collapsed garage roof in Narre Warren South. Two cars were damaged but no one was injured.

On the same weekend, more than 1000 requests for assistance were made to the SES across Victoria.
