Wheeling and Prospect Heights firefighters responded to an outdoor fire near a home on Thursday evening following a storm that swept through the area. Upon arrival, crews found a primary power line down in the backyard, which did not pose any immediate threat to nearby structures. However, before the arrival of ComEd personnel, there was visible and intense electrical arcing, creating a dramatic and dangerous scene.
Taylor Wallen captured video footage of the event, providing a firsthand look at the situation. The footage shows the striking arcs of electricity before emergency crews arrived to secure the area. In addition to the video, several photographs were taken by Larry Shapiro, offering a visual record of the incident and the efforts of local firefighters and utility workers.
The images show the Prospect Heights Fire Department's Battalion 9, a Rosenbauer Commander fire engine, and a ComEd bucket truck working on the scene. Linemen from ComEd were seen carefully addressing the downed power line, ensuring the safety of the public and preventing further hazards.
Another video, shot in higher resolution, captures the ongoing work of the utility crew as they restore power and clear the damaged line. These visuals give a deeper insight into the coordination between first responders and utility workers during such incidents.
This event highlights the importance of quick response and cooperation between different emergency services, especially after severe weather events that can lead to hazardous conditions. Thanks to the efforts of all involved, the situation was brought under control without any reported injuries or damage to property.
