Lakeside - On the afternoon of Sunday, January 23, 2010, the Lakeside Fire District received a call reporting that wires were down on the 12100 block of Lemoncrest Drive. Engine 1 from the Riverview fire station (fs1) was dispatched and found a SDG&E power pole had been broken at the base.

| The lines kept the pole from toppling over completely |
Electrical power was out to a large portion of the Lemoncrest Drive area. The timing was unfortunate and had many residents wondering where they were going to go to watch the NFL playoff games.

| The pole is located in a drainage ditch along Lemoncrest Drive |
SDG&E arrived on scene and began the long process of replacing a pole with suspended wires. This is a long intricate process that resulted in Lemoncrest being closed-down for several hours over the evening and into the night.
