Cobb power knocked out Monday night

COBB, Calif. – The lights were out in Cobb on Monday evening in the aftermath of downed power lines and a vegetation fire.


Fallen power lines that were said to be on fire were reported just after 5:30 p.m. on Highway 175 at Forest Lake Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol.


Cal Fire, which responded to the scene, reported a small vegetation fire resulting from the downed lines.
