***ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS/WAS A FIRE?***

It was a small electrical fire in the basement.

[Fire24 1]

It actually ended up being an electrical issue where one of the service lines going to the house came off of its insulator (likely due to the storm that night) and came to rest on a hook on the pole. This energized the cable TV line that was attached to this hook, sending house current over the cable line, igniting the insulation on the cable line. Additional fire at the attachment point of the cable line on the house. Very minor damage and nice work by Armonk to ensure no further extension to the residence.
