October 28, 2008- Tree down on wires

October 28, 2008- At 17:20 stations 2 & 4 were dispatched to just outside the boro line on the Schuylkill Mountain Road for a tree down on wires, with wires possibly arcing.  Duty Chief 720 arrived on scene and found that the same old stretch of road that has been giving us headaches in years past was at it again.  This time, the culprit was a HUGE 3 inch tree that managed to become unearthed and rested upon high voltage wires.  Crews from Engine 732 and Engine 737 tied a safety line to the tree and cut it off the lines as close to the base of the tree as possible.   Chief 720 cleared himself and both engines in about 10 minutes.
