This is an interesting video from Ron Roberts taken yesterday (Friday) in the Bensalem, Pennsylvania area. News reports refer to a downed live power line across I-95 that screwed up traffic and even mention there were wires burning. So far, none of the news coverage I’ve seen talks about what’s in Ron’s video, a burning PECO bucket truck.

Here is part of the description with the video:

A fire chief arrived on scene and found a bucket truck involved in flames near the top of a power pole. The worker operating the bucket was not injured.

PECO had been working at this site after a live wire fell onto Interstate 95 earlier in the day. Firefighters responded to the scene with Cornwells’ Tower Ladder and eventually extinguished the flames after power to the vehicle and pole were secured.
