Brief

Bobsdecline's raw field video (published 2026-06-27) documents a lineman response at a house fire where distribution-line insulation was melting and active arcing endangered firefighters. The lineman opened the pole transformer to cut power and de-energize the lines before they burned down, enabling the fire crew to continue; the clip warns procedures are guidelines only.

Hey all!

Arriving at this house fire, I found the power lines in a critical state with the insulation melting and active arcing, all while firefighters were working in the immediate vicinity.

The danger was escalating rapidly, and it was essential to de-energize the scene to ensure the safety of everyone on the ground.

This video documents the situation as I arrived and the actions I took to secure the site. By quickly opening the transformer to cut the power, I was able to de-energize the lines before they fully burned to the ground, allowing the fire crew to continue their work safely.

This is a raw look at the reality of our response, demonstrating the critical decisions required to mitigate high-voltage risks and protect other emergency responders on the scene.

Cheers all! Be safe. 👊👊
