Downed Tree Limb Causes Commotion

By Isaac White.

Sirens shrieked on Route 37 as the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police and the Hogansburg Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fallen tree limb on power lines at Ransom Road in Racquette Point. Multiple Tribal Police vehicles and officers secured the scene as the limb, hanging from the power lines, caused surges of electricity that led to small intermittent flashes of flame and smoke. The HAVFD arrived quickly and assisted in securing the area along with the SRMT PD. One Racquette Point resident said they had lost power. National Grid was on the scene when Indian Time returned to check the status. A National Grid employee noted that repairs were made, and power was restored at 6:53PM.
