Auckland Council urban forest, arboriculture and ecology manager David Stejskal told the Herald \u201cour arborist contractors were alerted by Fire and Emergency, who attended the scene\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand people were inside the house at the time, and we are very relieved to hear they are safe,\u201d Stejskal said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis would have been a frightening experience, and the house has sustained significant damage. We are reaching out to the occupants to offer support.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team and contractors are on site this morning to assess the tree and begin its safe removal, which may require heavy machinery given the position of the tree and the damage to the roof.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fire and Emergency said the tenants were able to source alternative accommodation and safely retrieve their belongings after crews assessed and secured the scene.<\/p>\n
Treescape contractors and the electrical authority were contacted and the power was isolated.<\/p>\n
Work on the tree was set to begin today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Auckland Council urban forest, arboriculture and ecology manager David Stejskal told the Herald \u201cour arborist contractors were alerted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494588,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[74,51,11519,5205,22510,15248,13989,71,1345,10053,14046,2944,3242,111,43,139,69,90,814,55142,10665,114144,19098,312,5257,17292,15981,3807,102],"class_list":["post-495683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-after","tag-auckland","tag-causing","tag-council","tag-damage","tag-falls","tag-fell","tag-from","tag-home","tag-house","tag-hurt","tag-inside","tag-large","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-property","tag-relieved","tag-reserve","tag-rnui","tag-safe","tag-says","tag-significant","tag-tenants","tag-tree","tag-west","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
