The strong wind on the island knocked down a tree on Saturday night, falling on a road in Playa Quemada. Around 11:30 p.m., the Local Police alerted the Emergency Consortium of the incident.

The firefighters went to the town and verified that the tree was on the road and that it could be a danger that the wind could carry it to nearby cars. The emergency personnel took the tree to a vacant lot with the help of the winch of the vehicle itself.
