Arlington Heights firefighter/paramedics responded about 8:50 PM Tuesday to a report of a tree on fire close to a house on Wilshire Lane near Euclid Ave and Wilshire Lane Arlington Heights, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics also received a report that a power line was arcing near Euclid Avenue and Wilshire Lane.
Firefighters on the scene reported a short between the primary and secondary power line.
The line then burned through and caused an electric arcing explosion. After 9:00 p.m. at least one power line was down on the ground. Engine 2's crew reported a line down from pole-to-pole.
