Powerlines down vehicle fire
On February 28, 2008, crews responded to a routine powerlines down call. Upon arrival, they assessed the situation and realized that a powerline had fallen on a Lincoln Navigator, which was on fire and located on Citra Road. Fire crews were delayed in extinguishing the fire due to the electrical hazard but were busy keeping nearby homes and vehicles protected. After the power company gave notification that the area was de-energized, the fire was extinguished. Damage was estimated at $20,000. Stations 41 and 46 responded to the scene as well as Battalion 40 and Progress Energy.
