The Washington Township Fire Department was called to a fire on 1025 East Monday night.
Assistant Fire Chief Dave Pearman said a big oak tree fell on some electrical lines in that area which caused two transformers to explode. The tree then fell into the road, and a driver soon struck the tree. The fire was extinguished by the fire department and the driver received minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene.
REMC was called to the scene to deactivate the electrical lines so cleanup could begin.
