Fire Safety in Salisbury?

Situational Awareness in Salisbury
While attending a company picnic at a large park, I heard a faraway “sparking sound,” and now and then would get a whiff of something burning. I followed my ears and nose and discovered a transformer on a large utility pole was throwing sparks and burning leaves on a tree next to the transformer. I called the fire department and the power company and made a report. Evidently, some new transformers were faulty and had to be replaced. Who knows how many fires could have broken out if the damaged transformers were not replaced?
