Thursday’s storm that went through Door County caused plenty of issues for homeowners and even started a fire. Accompanying the rain were winds of 15 to 30 miles per hour with gusts reaching as high as 40 miles per hour. Door County Dispatch received one call for a wire down and five calls for downed trees. The high winds were also to blame for a fire call on Bay Shore Drive at approximately 6:45 p.m. Egg Harbor Interim Fire Chief Jason Staats said a tree hit a power line, causing a small fire. In the event of such fires, crews stay on location until Wisconsin Public Service arrives.
