Brick authorities responded to two, separate utility pole fires overnight.
The first fire, reported in front of 583 Adamston Road at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday night, caused wires to drop to the ground and caused interruption in electrical service to the immediate area, said Brick Police Capt. John Rein.
The second incident occurred at 7:05 am Thursday morning at the intersection of Pleasant Drive and Park Place. Arcing electrical wires caused a power line to fall to the ground and resulted in a small fire to some shrubbery, Rein said.
