A motor vehicle accident in Hulmeville took a power pole line down causing a fire on Tuesday.
According to Ron Roberts, who was on the scene, a vehicle struck a pole, bringing down wires and causing a fire. An ambulance was departing the scene as he arrived; injuries were initially reported. Once PECO restored power, firefighters used foam to extinguish the flames. The vehicle that struck the pole was not involved in the fire and was removed from the scene within an hour so utility crews could repair and replace the damaged infrastructure and restore power to the area.
Emergency crews from Middletown Emergency Services, William Penn, Penndel and Newport Fire Companies worked on the scene as well as Hulmeville, Langhorne, PA State Police and the Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad, said Roberts.
