Overview

• Eversource said a tractor-trailer struck a utility pole near 410 Totten Pond Road, bringing down wires and setting off a fire in an adjacent lot.
• At least two vehicles were destroyed and another was damaged, with some appearing to be school vans and a nearby school bus showing damage.
• Firefighters and police responded but initially held off from attacking the flames because the downed lines were still energized.
• Police confirmed power lines were down and urged people to avoid the area as Eversource crews moved to make the site safe.
• Officials reported no injuries, said the truck driver was unharmed and the burning vehicles were unoccupied, and noted a day school evacuation, some power outages, and one elevator rescue.
