KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Safety concerns due to a fallen wire caused a road closure on Friday morning in Kelseyville.

The wire fell down across Main Street in Kelseyville at the intersection with State Street shortly before 11 a.m.

At the same time, smoke was billowing from a nearby building, with a man using a fire extinguisher around the back of the structure.

Several community members stood in the street to warn drivers to detour around the area, as the wires were reported to be live.

Kelseyville Fire Protection District and Pacific Gas & Electric responded to the scene.

PG&E did not have additional details about the incident late Friday.
