The Elwood Fire Company was called out on Wednesday July 16th at 3:40pm for the report of wires down in the area of 3134 White Horse Pike. Engine 16-3 & Support 16-1 responded and stood by until the Electric Company arrived and cut the power. This is the third time this week the wires have come down on that stretch of road. The Electric Company said the sub station is down in Egg Harbor City and they have diverted power to EHC though the power lines along Rt 30. The lines should be able to handle the extra power but are failing. They said they will be working on replacing them.
