YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: A worker was brought down safely after an aerial bucket made contact with primary overhead lines in Hackensack this morning.

Chemical extinguishers were used to knock down a fire in the truck during the incident at National Crane Equipment Rental on Hudson Street around 8 a.m., Hackensack Fire Lt. Justin Derevyanik told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

A police-escorted PSE&G crew responded and cut the power so that the worker could be brought down less than a half-hour later.

EMS workers responded as a precaution.
