South Shore just got hit hard by a ton of calls, BFUs went into service as engines and companies are going from box to box...
 
Catry is correct - the calls are non stop with wires down from trees blocking roads to wires pulled off residences etc.  This 10-75 kitchen fire was caused by a live outside wire that arced.
