We had a cat crawl up inside a fuse box here at work. Somehow he shorted out a fuse that was about as big as him and took out power to the whole building.SEABREEZE 1957 said:Poor buzzard!....![]()
Pretty funny write up on the 7th district Fire Department site though![]()
I've seen squirrels & snakes, but never a bird, cause power outages and fires from arcing power lines...he must have had a pretty big wing span.
I'm sure the cat went through all nine lives instantly!desertrat said:We had a cat crawl up inside a fuse box here at work. Somehow he shorted out a fuse that was about as big as him and took out power to the whole building.
Hadn't seen that, but I remember seeing a bear , I think this was in AZ, that had climbed up a power pole and in an attempt to get him down they shot him with a tranquilizer dart. He fell and hit the transformer on the pole and set off a big shower of sparks. I don't remember if he lived or not.keekee said:Everyone seen this one?

Not in SoMD.keekee said:So glad they were there to help him down!
He probably would have gotten down fine if they'd left him alone!
Didn't we have a stray bear around here years ago that was shot & killed?
desertrat said:Not in SoMD.Maybe something local enough to make the DC channels like Frederick maybe.

keekee said:No, I'm serious... I think that did happen, maybe sometime in the 80's.
Does anyone remember that? It was a black bear... no one knew where it came from.
buddscreek said:the bear was shot in mechanicsville near blackbeards. the bear is on display at point lookout state park.
