The Pine River Footbridge in the City of Richland Center was the location of arcing power wires for the security lights on the bridge. Firefighters from the RCFD were paged out at approximately 6:15 pm to keep people off the pedestrian bridge in case the bare wires were to contact the support cables holding the bridge up. Brush trucks 711 and 712 were sent one to each end of the bridge and the City Utilities Electric Department responded to make repairs to the wire. No injuries were reported and there was no actual fire. Fire Department personnel we on the scene for less than an hour.
