Station 27 was dispatched to a wires down call with an exposure problem at 1803 hrs. Chief T. Pursel (2751) was command and requested Met Ed respond ASAP because of the live wires, the exposure problem, and because of the possibility of the entire dwelling being electrified.

Met Ed had the normal one hour ETA. The cause of the problem was a neighbor was trimming a tree when a branch fell on the phone line and tore the electric service from the house.

Fire units remained on location until 1934 hrs.
