Fire!

Fire!



(Note I e-mailed to my boss.)


We had a little fire at the base of a power pole behind the bldg next door. It happened about 3:45PM - we heard some low booms and the power flickered on and off a few times, then off. I went to call 911 but our phones run on power so I called from my trac-phone. They'd already been called and they showed up about 4:05PM. The firemen waited for Consumers to show up and the power to be shut off before working on putting out the fire. All had left by 5PM, but when I left at 5:30 we still had no power - I couldn't even vacuum up the shop. Check out the pictures.

Ooooooo! (Doesn't look like much but the base of the power pole on the right is aflame.)



Take that!

That's crazy! Wonder what happened. Bird or squirrel step on the wrong thing and create sparks?

Glad to hear the power is back up!
