FOX 29 is getting results for a retired Philadelphia Police officer who told us about a large tree that fell onto his home during Hurricane Sandy.
Carmen Adamo called us on November 19th to tell us about the tree, which fell onto his home from neighboring Pennpyack Park.
FOX 29's Bruce Gordan made some calls to the city and received a promise that the tree would be removed.
Well, it took a while and a few more calls, but Adamo called us this week to report that a crew hired by the city had finally come to his home to take the tree away.
Adamo appears to have escaped with only minor roof damage
