Wires Arcing

At 1705 hours the Waretown Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to the area of the 100 block of Sixth Street for reported arcing wires. Upon arrival, crews located a primary electrical wire making contact with tree branches resulting in periodic arc's. Engine 3601 awaited JCP&L's arrival and upon their arrival the scene was transferred to them.

This incident was one of two calls that the fire department responded to on the evening of May 15th for electrical hazards caused by strong winds.
