Low-hanging wire on Main Street near Porter Avenue

By Howard B. Owens

A low-hanging wire that is arcing has been reported in the area of Main Street and Porter Avenue.

There have apparently been some power issues at the pump house on Main Street.

At the same time, there's a fire alarm at the Blind School on Washington Avenue. The school attributes the alarm to a power fluctuation. 

City Ladder 15 is responding to Main Street. Engine 12 is going to the Blind School as a precaution.

UPDATE 8:20 a.m.: There is a sort of low-hanging wire, but nothing arcing, and it's not impeding traffic, City Fire reports. National Grid being called in to check the wire. Also, Engine 12 cleared the Blind School.
