Utility Problem with Grass Fire

Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 5:48 PM:

Brush 50, Brush 51, Tender 50, Tender 52 and units from Cache County Fire responded to a power pole down at the intersection of SR 142 and 7000 West. The downed power lines ignited the grass along the road, burning towards a grain field on one side and hay barns on the other. 

Crews stopped the progression of the fire along the edges of the road then waited for the power company to disconnect the line for final mop up. Rocky Mountain Power restored service to Newton and Clarkston at approximately 11::00 PM.
