Power Lines Down on Golden Grove Road

Problems with the power lines and telephone poles in the Golden Grove area this morning have left some residents of that area without  power.

At around 8:25, fire officials responding to a call that a line was down had caught on fire on the upper Golden Grove Road. When fire officials got there it was still smoking. They stayed on the scene until NB power arrived and secured the scene.

Just after 11 o'clock Saint John fire department got another call about a telephone pole on fire near 2867 Golden Grove Road, between Bradley Lake Rd and the arterial.

According to early reports, it looks like a high tension wire is down, and the road will need to be shut down.

District Chief Peter Saab tells CHSJ news it's too early to say whether the two incidents are related.
