Steinbach Fire Department responded to a downed hydro line Friday morning.

Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Mike Penner says they were called to 361 Third Street shortly before 9:30.

He explains crews using a bucket truck were doing work in the area and snagged a power line to a residence. This caused the line to arc against the house and pull the mast off the building.

Penner says there is a slight smell of smoke in the house.

Third Street between Barkman and Lumber was closed to traffic while Manitoba Hydro reconnected the line to the house.
