David Laughlin

DUNCAN — Around 9:15 a.m. Tuesday Duncan Fire Department responded to a small electrical fire near 100 S. Fourth in Duncan.

City of Duncan responded to the call as well.

Jackie Byrd, city of Duncan employee, said the weight from the ice on the line caused the line to sag.

Byrd said the line burned through the insulation on the line and caused the small fire.

No serious damage occurred.
