Durango Fire Protection District responded to the report of the downed power line in the 700 block of County Road 302 at 5:30 p.m. Friday, and then called in La Plata Electric Association.
“They think it was the wind,” said LPEA spokeswoman Indiana Reed just before 7 p.m.
Power was restored at 7:41 p.m., but only for a little while.
About 10 minutes later, the power was knocked out for the second time when a tree limb fell on the power line, Reed said. By 8:03 p.m., the limb was cleaned up, and power was restored for a second time. At least for now.
