The fire engine and cop should've NEVER parked under the wires. If they drop they would've landed right on their vehicles.

In Japan, they have teams of workers that go out and do nothing else but remove bird nests from electrical stuff. We need those here.

Did your power go out that day? I ask since I use to work for the company Oncor. If it did how long? Curious cause I use to talk to firemen and police officers about poles on fire. So I needed to call the Dist Center and get a tech out there. Sometimes there would be a delay since a tech was several miles away and would need to leave the job he was working.

@Ss1mega actually no, I live in an apartment complex, and as far as I know, it didn't effect anyone's electric.

Yes, it was some kind of birds nest ( not a bird expert so I don't know what kind ) that was on fire along with the wooden pole that is tar soaked. Yes an arc started the fire during a storm. Never expected that this video would have so many views. I just put it on here so that a couple of people I know could see it. As, you can tell this was a few years ago and there is no longer a nest on the new pole that was put in to replace the one in the video.

This is at the East side of the Sunridge apartment complex. That is on Corn Valley Road pretty close to Pioneer Pkwy. and across the street from the Kroger grocery store in that same area. The video was actually taken with a Kodak EasyShare Z740 camera. It takes both pictures and video (5.0 megapixle, 10x optical zoom, 45.5mm to 55mm lens adapter) = Nothing professional, new or special. I am the owner of the video so I know
