Wires Down on Wickford last week

There were some concerns about the response of the firemen after a tree fell on Wickford. Here is the info that I rec'd from the Asst. Chief.  Hope this helps alleviate some concerns folks had.

 

I have researched the 911 call and have the following information that has been recorded in the CAD system.
