A tree falling on power lines cut power to some residents in the Sales Road West area, in Quesnel.
Bart Schneider, of the Quesnel Fire Department, says the department got a call to the scene at around 1:00 pm on October 23.
“When I arrived on scene, we’ve got a tree leaning against the primary lines on Sales Road West. Two out of the three primary line cutouts have gone. It appears there might still be power to one of the primary lines.”
Schneider said most of Sales Road West, and parts of Red Bluff Road, were either without power or may experience power shortages in the meantime.
BC Hydro arrived at the scene on Sales Road West shortly after 2:30 pm to assess damages and potential power outages.
