<\/p>\n

Heavy, wet snow brought down a small power line in Dolores on Dec. 26, but there were no power outages.<\/p>\n

Empire Electric Association, Montezuma County Sheriff\u2019s Office and Dolores Fire and Rescue responded to the 900 block of Central Avenue after a call came out at 2:12 p.m. Once a large Empire Electric truck arrived on scene about 2:40 p.m., linemen were able to repair the damaged line in about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Tyler Berry, a lineman with Empire Electric, said snow caused a branch to fall on a hot line, pushing it down to touch a second line. The branch caught fire, causing one of the lines to break.<\/p>\n

A crew of linemen used a cherry picker to pull the branch off of the line and then attached the two ends of the broken wire. They tightened the two ends and secured them with a copper splice.<\/p>\n

A deputy and Dolores Fire and Rescue were on scene to provide traffic control and support.<\/p>\n
