two philadelphia police officers saving a man from a house fire. the newly released video from march29th of last year. a home on the 1900 block of north 17th street was a blaze. heavy smoke was pouring from it when officers donahue and harper went in. they found a man in a wheelchair on the second floor and carried him outside. doctors treated both officers and the man for smoke inhalati inhalation. investigators believe the man started the fire in his home and prosecutors have charged him with arson. philadelphia's home to some beautiful majestic big old tre trees. but that size can sometimes be a problem. decades ago the city planned them but these days, well, as our bruce gordon explains, some can become an expensive problem to homeowners who enjoy indoor plumbing. >> reporter: what's not to love about the big beautiful trees that line the 7500 block

of walnut lane in mt. airy? plenty says the homeowner at 7528 brenda simmons. >> they can take the tree down and they need to get rid of it. >> reporter: we met the simmons monday night as we watched work being done to repair broken sewer lines caused says louis by ever expanding roots from their city planned street tree. >> it started off as $8,800 project. now it will tur turn worse becae my retainer wall has to come down and they have to go deeper on to the property to get to the pipes report roar the broken sewer pipes forced them to limit the use of toil that are toilet for fear of backups. they say it happened half a dozen times. >> you do the wrong thing and wind up with sewage in the basement. >> yup. we use a wet vac to get it all up. >> they've been asking the cit city's department of parks and rec remove the tree and -- >> they have been here. they look at the tree. they said to them the tree is healthy. it's there's nothing wrong with

it so no reason for them to take the down. >> reporter: in fact parks and rec tells us they rated the tree's condition as fair and placed it on a lengthy list for removal but with no guarantee when they'd actually get around to it. they did send the simmons this letter last year saying if they wanted the tree work performed immediately, they should hire a private tree contractor. in other words, you're on your own. the city tells us there's no way of knowing for sure it was the tree roots that broke the sewer line. but brenda says self of her neighbors have had the same problem. >> like her, she had her pipes replaced. he had to do his. >> reporter: at the very least the decades owl street troops trees up and down this block have ought out grown their narrow planting beds uprooting sidewalks. theater the homeowner's responsibility to fix. these street trees look nice from a distant but up close, brenda is no fan. >> if i was a lumber jack myself i'd take it down. [ laughter ] >> reporter: it's very clear in some cases at least the wrong finds of trees were planned way back when the current administration hasn't the money

nor the staff to remove all these problem trees. a parks and rec spokeswoman notes that in most cases these trees were planned long before the homeowners moved in so buyer beware? well, louis simmons tells me he remembers the tree being planted by the city. remembers his mother then the homeowner accepting it. of course, with no way of knowing it would cause all these problems years later. i'm bruce gordon, fox 29 news. developing right now, jared kushner president trump's son-in-law and top weiss house adviser has big problems tonig tonight. months of exhaustive background check led to the downgrade of security clearance. iain page is in our technical operations sent with what's happening now. iain. >> lucy, new revelations tonight calling into question jared kushner's ability to work in the white house. according to report in the washington post, official from at least four countries have talked about ways to manipulate kushner over his sprawling business ties. among the countries mexico, israel, china and the united

arab emirates. it's not clear if the officials acted on their discussions but kushner's contact with some foreign governments have raised red flags. earlier today kushner was stripped of his top-secret sewer are the clearance he can no longer look at sensitive document. the new security clearance ruled l rules were issued by white house chief of staff john kelly with the white house insisting to night kushner's work had not be affected by the security downgrade. lucy. >> thank you very much, iain. we're still reliving the super bowl around here. i just got myself some philly special socks. feels good, doesn't it? but jerry jones and those dreaded cowboys are still seething over something that happened years ago. seriously? don't you think it's about time to get over all of this. can't they just let bygones be bygones forget about the past look to the future and all that stuff? all right. kristen. what's their problem now. >> so lucy, if you saw cowboys receiver dez bryant trending on twitter today, even here in

philadelphia there's kind of a good reason why. the nfl's come competition committee is in the early tapes of changing the catch rule. basically saying that bryant did catch the ball in that 2014 playoff game. here's a look at that catch. referees overruled this saying bryant didn't main tape control of the ball all the way to the ground. because of that, the cowboys didn't get in position for go ahead touchdown against agree bay and they lost that game. the catch rule is one of the most controversial and rather inconsistent rules in the game it is says a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass they must control the ball the whole way throughout the process. if they lose control and it touches the ground before they regain control, then it's incomplete. now changes could be made after league meetings in orlando next month. i know a loft fans are looking for that answer. coming up the sixers look to start another winning streak tonight plus what lebron james said about those billboards all
