A tree fell on wires due to high winds, pulling down a telephone pole and damaging two transformers on Jan. 31. Oil spilled into the parking lot at Fisher Meadows and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection came to clean it up. 

Avon Public Works Highway Foreman Paul Welsh shared the above photo with us.
