Firefighters were dispatched to Madison’s south side Wednesday night after a fallen tree cut power to area residents, two of whom needed help with their oxygen supplies.
According to a Madison Fire Department incident report, crews responded to the 900 block of Moorland Road around 9:45 p.m. after winds knocked over a large tree in the area, prompting power outages. One MFD crew responded to help with traffic control at the scene as Madison Gas & Electric crews worked to restore power. Firefighters remained at the scene until the damage was cleared.
At the same time, another crew of firefighters responded to the area after getting reports that two households dependent on oxygen were having difficulties.
