Three Oconee fire calls

A large swath of the West Union area lost electric power service last night for about 90 minutes after a transformer and, apparently, a couple of power lines fell to the ground at 1421 W. Main Street.  Public safety responders were alerted just after 9:15.  A few minutes later, fire was discovered in a home on Westminster’s Wood Street, requiring the presence of the EMS for a burn patient.  Just before 8:30 last night, a home fire was reported on Jennings Road, West Union.
