𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥: Palm Trees Cut Down for New Power Lines After Devastating Wildfire

Описание: On Monday, February 10, 2025, crews from Tree Service Kings, Inc. were hard at work along Swarthmore Avenue in Pacific Palisades, removing palm trees that posed a risk to newly installed power lines. As part of ongoing recovery efforts following the devastating Palisades Fire, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has been replacing damaged power poles. To ensure public safety and prevent future outages, palm trees interfering with utility lines had to be removed as part of a utility line clearance operation.

The Palisades Fire, which erupted on January 7, 2025, spread rapidly due to powerful Santa Ana winds and extended drought conditions. The wildfire consumed more than 23,000 acres, destroyed over 12,000 structures, and forced the evacuation of approximately 150,000 residents across Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and the San Fernando Valley. The fire tragically claimed at least five lives and left many others injured. In the aftermath, utility restoration and fire mitigation efforts remain a top priority for the community’s rebuilding process.

Tree Service Kings, Inc., a Canoga Park-based company specializing in tree maintenance, has been at the forefront of these efforts. Established in 2007, the company provides utility line clearance, as well as residential, commercial, and municipal tree services across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Their expertise includes tree pruning, removal, stump grinding, and brush clearing to comply with fire safety regulations. Fully licensed, insured, and bonded, the company operates under strict safety protocols and professional standards.

Committed to workforce development, Tree Service Kings, Inc. follows the SEED program—Safety, Education, and Employee Development—to ensure their team is well-trained and equipped for hazardous tasks. The company maintains an active USDOT number (2720563) and operates 16 power units with 20 drivers, engaging in interstate commerce.

As Pacific Palisades continues to recover from the fire, operations like these play a crucial role in restoring essential services and maintaining public safety. Residents and businesses seeking tree care services can contact Tree Service Kings, Inc. at (818) 772-4850 for more information.
