Schuylkill County, PA, USA
Summary: Emergency services responded to a report of a tree down at 91 Diagnum's Road in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Upon arrival, crews removed the tree from a wire using local equipment. However, a low-hanging wire, approximately 9 to 10 feet above the roadway, and a leaning Verizon utility pole remained as hazards. The fire department coordinated with Verizon to address the situation, placed caution tape around the area, and confirmed the roadway was cleared of the tree. The incident was managed without reported injuries, but the low-hanging wire continued to pose a potential risk until utility crews arrived.
