First on scene crews arrived at 2:44 p.m. to find multiple brush fires that were caused by downed high voltage power lines. Further investigation found that a tractor trailer near the intersection of Portsmouth Blvd and C Street had contacted the power lines causing the pole to break and the lines to be pulled from the pole.
