Tree Branches Rest On Power LinesThe Steinbach Fire Department was called to Spruce Crescent at around 1:30 Sunday afternoon after a tree branch broke in the wind and fell on a hydro line.

Fire Crews On Scene Managing SafetyDeputy Fire Chief Ron Chausse says the branch hit the hydro line between 22 and 26 Spruce Crescent.

“We have had some tree limbs fracture here, they are on the main feeder for the power lines. We are just doing scene safety, making sure everyone is out of the way. We have Manitoba Hydro en-route to deal with this and we might have a small power outage as we deal with this.”

Chausse says the fire department will advise neighbouring properties as soon as they know what Manitoba Hydro's plan is to fix the problem.
