Utility Pole Fire Sunday Afternoon In Seminole

Posted: June 7, 2015 – 10PM

At approximately 5:30PM on Sunday evening, crews from Seminole Fire Rescue, Pinellas Suncoast Fire & Rescue and Largo Fire Rescue responded to 7103 Seminole Boulevard.  Arriving crews found a utility pole and junction box engulfed in flames.  Power was cutoff to the adjoining KFC restaurant to prevent possible spreading of the fire.

Once Duke Energy arrived to de-energize the main electrical feed to the pole, crews were able to rapidly extinguish the fire.

Duke Energy remained on-scene to replace and repair the damaged infrastructure.
