KUWAIT CITY, Dec 16: Motorists on the Sixth Ring Road, opposite Sulaibiya farms, were surprised on Monday by the sight of a vehicle perched high in a tree along the roadside, prompting widespread confusion and concern among passersby.

The scene drew comparisons to the famous Egyptian film "My Father Is Up a Tree" from the late 1960s, starring the late Abdul-Halim Hafidh and a host of other stars of the golden age of Egyptian cinema. However, in this case, the television production went a step further by placing not the father but a vehicle high in a tree.

Within minutes, multiple reports flooded the Control Room of Kuwait Fire Force (KFF), amid fears that the vehicle could fall due to unstable weather conditions, posing a danger to road users.

Firefighting teams and security personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene to assess and handle the situation.

According to a source from KFF, inspection of the site revealed that the vehicle's position was not the result of a traffic accident. Instead, it had been placed in the tree as part of the filming of a television series, without prior coordination or notification to KFF or other relevant authorities.

The unexpected scene led firefighters to immediately remove the vehicle from the tree and secure the area to ensure public safety and prevent any potential hazards or traffic disruption.

The source stressed the importance of prior coordination with the concerned authorities when filming or staging unusual scenes in public areas, in order to ensure public safety, avoid unnecessary panic, and prevent interference with traffic flow.
