Company 1 was dispatched to Edgewood Church Road for a tree down on a house with power lines and fire on the roof. Chief 1-4, Engine 12, and Tower 1 arrived on the scene to find a fallen tree onto wires laying on a roof smoldering. The fire was knocked down with an extinguisher from the Tower basket. The Power Company was requested, but before they arrived, the transformer blew and caused a larger fire. Once the Power Company arrived and shut down the power, crews extinguished the rest of the fire.
