3/1/2020 19:15 Unknown Fire Type – Manhole Cover smoking

03.02.2020 by Graham Fuller //

3/1/2020 19:15 the Company was dispatched to the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and Church Road for the report of smoke or steam coming from a manhole cover.  Upon arrival, the company found smoke, high CO content and the smell of burning electrical coming from a PECO manhole.  PECO was notified and responded, nothing in the manhole was found to be on fire, however, PECO though the problem could be down the line and would handle it themselves as there was nothing that the company could aid them with. Neighboring properties were checked for CO and were found to be fine.
