Wind, ice try power company’s patience

Guess winter has finally arrived. Here's where our crews spent sunrise this morning while they made repairs to the two high voltage power lines that burned down when an ice covered pine branch fell across them. (G&E)

WESTFIELD – Westfield Gas & Electric crews continue to deal with situations like this one pictured above on Beckwith Avenue where customers in that area experienced an isolated outage.
Earlier, an isolated outage occurred in the Sackett Road area, due to gusting winds. A tree came down, breaking a utility pole and taking down three sections of wire with it. Crews were called to the site to make necessary repairs.
The downed wires can include Comcast and Verizon, so those utility crews need to respond as well to make the repairs to their specific equipment.
