What to do if a tree falls in the road?

Wondering what happens if you see a tree in the road?
The Road Commission of Kalamazoo County says to call them at (269) 381-3171 (Call 911 after hours.)
When the RCKC removes fallen branches from the roadway, they relocate them to a property owner’s use/disposal.
When the RCKC does this, they will leave a pink tag on the branch informing the owner that they have 15 days to contact the RCKC to call the RKCK to have the branch dealt with.
The RCKC is able to remove the branch, or cut the branch and stack the wood for the owner.
You can find more information on the RCKC’s tree removal process here.
