Dramatic photos show firefighters saving Bilton tree in storm
Firefighters braved strong winds to activate an aerial ladder platform and prevent a tree in Bilton from falling during yesterday's Storm Eunice.
The storm uprooted several trees in the Harrogate district, including one that splintered on West Park Stray at rush hour — fortunately not hitting any passing pedestrians or vehicles.
Harrogate fire station was summoned early in the evening "to deal with a tree in a precarious position", according to a post on the station's Facebook page.
Despite the winds, the crew took action.
