Volunteers attended about 50 jobs from Friday to Sunday, which ranged from roof damage and trampolines to hanging tree branches.
About 90 per cent of the volunteer call-outs were tree-related, with limbs hanging from trees.
SES Wingecarribee Unit controller Warren Turner said the trampoline jobs were of particular concern.
“They require quite a few of our members to rectify the situation,” he said.

“If they get airborne they could possibly kill someone, bounce off multiple roofs or damage cars. They have a big surface.”
Mr Turner praised volunteers for their efforts over the weekend.
“I’m proud of the work our members do and the effort they go to to help the community,” he said.
“The teams were professional and well trained they did what they were trained to do.”
