High winds and low wires equal fire
Oct. 28 saw some powerful winds come through Camp County. About two in the afternoon, the wind was reaching 33 mph with gusts of 41 mph. Around 2:30 p.m., the Pittsburg Fire Department got a call to attend to a downed electrical wire on County Road 3540. The pole was rotted and as the transformer gracing the top of the pole made it topheavy, the wind won that round with a knockout.
