Wet weather brings calls
By Wagontown Volunteers
May 27, 2018
Today around 14:23 hours the company was dispatched to the 100 Block of Telegraph Road in West Brandywine for a tree on wires, this is the second call of the weekend involving trees and wires. With the ground saturated with the rains we have been having the trees are coming down into the power lines.
Today was no different, the falling tree was hung in the PECO wires and was burning. So the company stood by until PECO arrived and cut the tree off the lines. Then we assisted them with opening the roadway and removing parts of the tree.
Once cleared the roadway was opened shortly after 4 pm. This same scenario played out Friday night on Reservoir Rd. Near the Country Club, again we secured the scene and awaited the arrival of PECO to secure the scene.
