Lots Of Trees Down In Steuben And Lots Of Outages Too

Trees were down in the area on Saturday morning.  On Haverling Street in Bath there was a tree blocking the street and causing downed wires.  At about 8am Saturday, Bath Electric Gas and Water shut the power down so they could do repairs.  In the 9am Saturday morning, Steuben Rural Electric had 32 outages in Bath and 127 outages in Thurston.  There were also scattered outages in places like Hartsville and Howard.  Also in the 9am hour Saturday, NYSEG reported that Wheeler had 535 outages, Erwin had 445 and Lindley had 415 NYSEG outages.   There were 43 outages in Avoca and other scattered power outages in Caton and Cohocton.   

Unfortunetly, it did not end there.  There were also outages on Sunday in many of the same locations.

 

Brush Fire In Savona On Sunday Afternoon

From The Savona Fire Dept:  At approximately 2:05 PM, the Savona Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a reported brush fire on Robbie Road, approximately 50 feet from a home. When Chief 33 arrived on scene, there were approximately 4–5 acres of a grass field already on fire and moving away from the residence.

Within minutes, the wind picked up and the flames crossed the field, spreading rapidly. Fire crews worked quickly to contain the fire after approximately 11 acres had burned, preventing it from spreading into neighboring properties.

A huge thank you to all Savona members for their hard work, as well as the Bath, Bradford, Campbell, Coopers Plains, Hammondsport, Painted Post, and Wayne Fire Departments for their assistance. We also appreciate the support from 911 Dispatchers, Bath Ambulance, and the NYS Forest Rangers.

Painted Post Fire Department responded with, M-67 and UTV-28 responded with 4 firefighters, MP-28 responded with 4 firefighters, and Chief 28-1 to the scene. Chief 28-02 and additional crews remained at the station.

Great teamwork by everyone involved to bring this fire under control safely.
