A 25-year-old wanted to cut a fir tree in Schleswig-Hostein using YouTube instructions and a borrowed chainsaw – but this went wrong in two senses.
Seeretz – The young woman had borrowed the saw because the ten-meter-high tree bothered the neighbors. “The result did not quite match that of the video tutorial,” said the police on Thursday. Because: During the work on Wednesday, the fir tree standing between two single-family houses threatened to fall in the wrong direction.
The fire brigade had to move in to prevent major damage. She secured the tree with a steel cable. Using a turntable ladder and chainsaw, the emergency services removed branches and shortened the fir tree by up to two thirds. However, the last third fell over and damaged a privacy screen. Nobody got hurt. The conclusion of the police: “Calling a specialist company would have been the better option in this case.” (dpa)
