At 7:30 am, winter solstice morning, the electricity went out because a garbage truck was on fire. The truck’s driver, warned by a similar past event now knew he had to unload his cargo before the truck itself caught in flames. The driver pulled the truck to the farm roadside and pressed levers to release the load. While calling his dispatcher he heard the tumble of garbage accompanied by a loud crack and crash. He hadn’t noticed the electric pole when parking the truck. Live power lines fell upon the truck. Blue sparks skipped across the wet road and surrounded the truck with a fearful light.
