I wish to acknowledge and commend the Town of Bel Air crew for their quick response to the clean up of branches and tree limbs after Hurricane Irene.

Many homeowners spent most of that Sunday trying to get their yards back into shape. Everyone had some sort of a brush pile out by the curb.

Some were small, some were big, (mine was huge!). The crew showed up at 8 a.m. that Monday morning with their heavy equipment and chain saws. The supervisor overheard my phone message to Public Works about a 60-year-old tree which had grown on town property that was now down in my front yard. In 15 minutes he was back with heavier equipment and more workers. They removed the tree for me, and went off to clean up the rest of the neighborhood. I am forever grateful. Thank you again guys.
