Home Sustains Smoke Damage from Power Line

TYLER — A Tyler home has received minor fire damage. It was reported just after 3:15 yesterday afternoon at 1319 East Front Street. A caller reported that a tree limb had fallen on a power line and the line had fallen on a house. According to the caller the house started to smoke after the wire fell on it. No one was home at the time of the incident. Three engines and one Ladder Company, along with a District Chief and an Investigator, responded to the scene. The house apparently only sustained slight smoke damage in the living areas and light smoke damage in the attic area due to smoldering insulation in the attic.
