Video: What Happened on Ridge and Meetinghouse?

While Hurricane Irene seemed like much ado about nothing for some, but for many others who lost power she has been a major inconvenience.

The town assembled several emergency response teams, each consisting of a police officer, firefighters and public works employees, who were dispatched to calls within a certain radius of their command posts.

The plan worked well, with one person manning the radio in the event of an emergency while the others tried to catch a cat nap during the nearly 18 hour shift.

A call that came in at 5:43 a.m. on Sunday on Ridge Road near Meetinghouse Lane had a major impact on a large area.

Video shows what the first responders saw.
