Station 77 and Engine 93 were dispatched to an electrical fire outside at the intersection of Old State Road and Yeager Road in Upper Providence Township.
LT77 arrived on scene and found a pole on fire and a request was made for PECO to respond. Engine 93 arrived on scene and established a safe area closing Yeager Road.
While on scene, fire crews were alerted from the resident of 1611 Yeager Road that she heard two loud popping noises in her basement following the electrical fire. Engine 77's crew found high two breakers tripped at the panel and an unusually high temperature from an A/C cord power supply near by. Crews verified there was no extension and made a request for Comcast to respond.
