Monday eving we were at the fire house doing some rit training when a call came in for a car accident on main street .

the chief told me to take a crew on the engine and check it out well in route to the scene the dispatch told us the pole the car hit is on fire apon arrival the fire was out so we thought .

i called dispatch told them the frie was out on arrival and we would checking the vehicle for fluid leaks.

my crew and i were walking towards the vehicle we got about 20 ft away when the primary wire exploded into a fire ball and dropped to the ground about 6 ft away part of theprimary fell on to a service going to the building we were next to. my crew reported seeing flames in side the building well long story short the fire in the building burnt itsself out and the primary wire gave us a laser light show youwould not believe we had to wait for the power company for approx 2hrs before we could investigate any more.
