Wind Pushes High Voltage Line Into Chelsea Home, Sparking Fire

CHELSEA (CBS) - A high voltage power line hit a house in Chelsea during a storm setting the home on fire.

It happened around 10:30 p.m. Thursday at a triple decker on Marginal Way.

The fire department said the wind and rain caused the high tension line in front of the house to hit the siding. That sparked a fire in the attic and other spots on the house.

Five adults and four children were forced out of their apartments.

A firefighter was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
