The Radnor Fire Company responded to Biddulph Road in Radnor Township for a reported wires fire. Upon arriving on location, crews discovered that a large tree had fallen, taking down wires and damaging the roof of a house.

Firefighters entered the home and found extensive damage to the roof and second floor of the structure. Radnor Township officials were notified and responded to survey the damage. No one was home at the time and no one was injured. The Fire Company remained on location until PECO crews arrived to ensure the electrical power was turned off to the residence.

Always assume power lines are energized. This includes power lines on utility poles as well as those entering your home or buildings. Always keep yourself, your equipment, and anything you carry at least 10 feet from power lines. Even though you may notice a covering on a line, NEVER assume it is safe to touch. Stay Away!
