Firefighters were summoned Monday after a squirrel scrambled up a Fortis Inc. utility pole, got zapped and landed in flames on some dry brush outside a fruit packing business, Fire Chief Ross Driver said.
By the time a pumper truck and a bush truck arrived, nearby residents had doused the flames.
"This identical incident has happened on the same pole one or two times a year for the past several years," Driver said.
Each time, firefighters find a dead, burned squirrel at the base of the utility pole, he said.
