One homeowner on East Mifflin Street was without power briefly Tuesday afternoon after the power line feeding electricity to her home was knocked down.
Engine 3 arrived just before noon and observed the line hanging straight down along a telephone pole. Firefighters blocked off traffic from both directions to contain the electrical hazard and awaited the arrival of MG&E.
MG&E was soon on hand and reattached the power line to the home. No other homes were affected during this time.
