A tree blocks Maple Street, taking down power lines on the other side. As of 3:30 p.m., Central Hudson was on the scene, but the tree had not been removed.
Shortly before 1 p.m., a spark from a transformer caused a brush fire and power outage to over 2,000 residents living in the Town of Cornwall and Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson.
Central Hudson employees Bill O’Reilly and George Lamoreaux were in their truck when dispatch sent them to Elise Lane in Cornwall for a baby hawk stranded on a power line.
