Narrative:
A Whitcomb Drive resident called 911 after a tree "fell into her home." The homeowner directed Ladder Company 7 the area where a very large limb rested against the side of the house. Firefighters went to the roof and noted the large branch crashed through the roof, breaking into the family room, after it fell off a nearby tree.
Firefighters placed a tarp on the roof, and a restoration company was called in to patch up the two holes left behind by the tree limb.
