Plane crash in local park. Model plane had got stuck in a tree.

Power lines fallen on house. Rich woman was selling her house and not happy that there was a bit of string flapping in the wind on her roof that could put off potential buyers. We were losing a truck at the time due to budget cuts and she informed us we had lost her support due to not being willing to risk our lives to remove the string.
