3:46pm–#Bridgeport  CT–A tree gave way to the heavy winds today crashing onto a welding truck, taking out three utility poles on Sherwood Avenue.  Power is out in the lower Wood Avenue area near the fire station.  Firefighters were on scene at the time conducting inspection when the crashed occurred.  The owner of the welding truck just told the firefighters that maybe he should move his truck when it occurred.   The call came in first as motor vehicle accident with entrapment, then children trapped under the tree so firefighters ran from the fire station around the block to the scene.  There was never any entrapment  of anyone and firefighter blocked the road, called in the tree warden, public works and United Illuminating to the scene.   From the looks of things power will be out for quite sometime  with three utility poles down and wires ripped from the side of houses.
