Nature: Wires Down/Arching

Location: Winding Creek Village 24976 Banks Rd., Millsboro, DE 19966

On Thursday, September 25th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for wires down on Banks Road in the vicinity of Winding Creek Village.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Engine #80-5 from the Long Neck facility and Engine #80-1 from the Oak Orchard facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.

It appears that a dump truck hauling an excavator snagged the overhead electrical wires and pulled the utility pole and equipment down. The utility company was notified and responded.

The Delaware State Fire Police provided traffic control assistance while the electrical issues were mitigated.
