Station 28 responded today to a reported brush fire caused by downed power lines. High winds likely contributed to the failure of the power lines. The high voltage lines in addition to starting a brush fire also likely started a fire within a nearby garage. Due to the high voltage in the area crews established defensive operations around the garage to protect nearby structures including a house. The fire was later extinguished once PECO had secure the power in the area.
