ROCKPORT — Crews from National Grid responded to Rockport several times this weekend to repair utility poles damaged in Saturday's coastal storm.
Police and fire crews responded to a report of a utility pole on fire on Penzance Road at 6:55 a.m. Saturday.
According to Fire Chief Jim Doyle, the fire erupted as a result of a blown fuse. National Grid turned off power and replaced the damaged parts.
At 1:17 Saturday afternoon, authorities responded to Mill Lane after a resident reported a fallen utility pole. According to Doyle, a tree limb fell on wires and pulled the pole down. The utility company righted the pole, but had to return to the scene Sunday morning after a resident noticed the pole was leaning again and contacted police.
There were no reports of power outages associated with the incidents, officials said.
