Reconstruction work for electric wires "The work has been increased by removing fallen trees" Kimitsu, Chiba, September 12, 19:11
In the midst of power outages due to typhoons, restoration work was underway in Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture, such as by removing fallen trees caught on electric wires.
On the road that runs through the mountainous area of Kimitsu City, about 20 people were working on removing the tree about 15 meters high that had fallen on the high-voltage power line. The branches of the tree were cut off little by little with a chainsaw.
Finally, after cutting the tree trunk and carrying it out by car, it was confirmed that the high-voltage wires were not damaged, and the work was over in about two hours.
“Because of fallen trees, there are many places where it takes time to get to the site, and because it is raw wood, it is heavy and the work burden is increasing. I have a painful understanding of the expectations for recovery, so I will continue to do my best to meet those expectations. "
