Simultaneous calls for a blown transformer at 1200 Washington St and smoke in the house on Pine St. were a result of this tree falling on power lines on Pine St. Traffic was shut down and firefighters stood by until crews from National Grid could shut down the power. The small brush fire was quickly extinguished after the downed wires were de-energized.

The department responded to this accident on Columbia Rd. A tractor trailer truck attempting to turn around pulled down the electrical service (and the pole with it) to Merrill Associates. This created a dangerous situation up and down the street as nearby electrical poles were placed under increased strain. A pole across the street cracked and was in danger of dropping live wires across Rt. 53. Traffic had to be re-routed until crews from National Grid could make the area safe.
