A tree completely blocked traffic on Myers Creek Road, Healesville in the early morning of 4 May, holding up morning commuters, including a school bus.
The Healesville SES unit was on the scene from about 6 am and closed the road while they worked to clear the large tree, which gave the chance for some newer recruits to get their hands dirty.
The SES thanked the community for their patience while they did the work, which had the road open again by 8.30 am.
