No application shall be required to remove any tree or part thereof which, because of damage by fire, windstorm or other calamity, poses an imminent threat to public health or safety or which obstructs any public way. In the event of such emergency, the Superintendent may exempt operations necessary to remove threats to public safety from the requirements of this chapter. The Superintendent may determine that a public or private tree is extremely hazardous and order it be immediately treated or removed to protect public health and safety.
