Here’s a short video clip of the wires down on College Avenue Tuesday night.
Quite a light show Tuesday night as a transformer blew sending live wires down along the 4700 block of College Avenue in Everett.It all began around 7 PM with reports of that blown transformer. Everett Fire crews had to stand by until the Snohomish PUD could cut power. About that same time it began snowing heavily in the neighborhood.
The lines were down directly in front of a travel trailer and near two parked cars. The cars were okay but the travel trailer caught fire. There were no injuries.
About 600 people were without power as Snohomish PUD crews worked to fix the issue.
A reminder that you need to stay at least 30 feet away from downed power lines and always assume they are live. Here are more tips from Snohomish PUD when it comes to downed lines.
