ADAMS, N.Y. (WWNY) - Some residents of South Park Street in Adams had to leave their homes early Sunday morning.
It happened around 2:30 AM when a live power line came down onto a metal bridge truss, sparking a fire in a gas line attached to it.
Philip Janusheske lives on neighboring Spring Street and saw everything unfold.
“I was watching TV and such, and the power suddenly went out after a loud bang. And there were flames shooting out from underneath the bridge, I would have to guess, roughly six to eight feet,” said Janusheske.
