Car 1 (Chief Payne) arrived and established command. Engine 1 (FF Baird) arrived on scene, and laid out approximately 500 feet of supply line. Upon Engine 1 pulling up to the scene they had large tree that had fallen into a house, and brought down multiple power lines, along with cable lines down in the roadway/yard of the house. There was a small fire on the tree. Engine 1 crew pulled a 150 foot attack line and stood by on the Bravo side of the house in the neighbors yard. Car 2(D/C Loucks) and Car 3 (D/C Manley) arrived and help coordinate resources from both sides of the wires that were down. Moyers Corners Engine 21 arrived and stood by at the hydrant for Engine 1.
