52 was dispatched to a tree on wires incident Saturday evening on Gerloff Road. Upon arrival Deputy 52 reported the downed wires had produced a field/woods fire. Crews staying at a safe distance until PECO could arrive to secure the power, kept the fire from spreading further. Once the area was safe from electrical hazard, the fire was extinguished by members from 52, 73 (Schwenksville Fire Company), 87 (Upper Frederick Fire Company).
