On May 18 a FedX truck took down power lines and a transformer on Rumford Avenue Newton which ignited the utility pole.
Because the incident was on the city lines, Waltham Engine 1 and Newton Engine 2 responded. Power in the area was out for several hours.
Residents of the Island area of Waltham were unable to leave as the second way to leave was under construction.
