Huge Fallen Tree Limb Over Memorial Day Weekend.

Location: 4200 Block of Stirling

A huge heavy tree limb crashed down, damaging several cars and blocked the street. Neighbors were unsure who to contact, with 311 having closed early on Friday.

Impact: We contacted our friend, State Rep Jared Solomon who expedited the request to have it removed very quickly despite the holiday weekend.
