Wires down and burning in woods near Barringer Road
Mohawk St, Herkimer, NY 13350 - 6/18/2026 08:14 AM
As discussed during the dispatch call, radio traffic describes emergency crews responding to reports of wires down in multiple locations, including near a transportation property on Mohawk Street and later in a wooded area off Barringer Road in the Town of Litchfield. Callers report communication lines down, trees burning, and wires still attached to a house and pole, creating a potential fire and electrical hazard. Fire units request additional manpower, equipment, and an off-road vehicle to reach the area in the woods, while crews work to remove hazards from the roadway and have utilities check the remaining wires.
