CRYSTAL LAKE – A downed power line along Crystal Lake Avenue sparked a small brush fire and caused some businesses to lose power periodically Sunday afternoon, Crystal Lake Fire Rescue officials said.

The department was dispatched at 12:45 p.m. to the area east of Crystal Lake Avenue and Main Street to put out a half-acre brush fire. The incident did not cause injuries or property damage, said Battalion Chief Robert Kohley of Crystal Lake Fire Rescue.

Firefighters stayed on the scene for two hours to extinguish the fire while ComEd crews worked to restore the downed power line. Kohley said that businesses along the Northwest Highway experienced temporary outages until 2:30 p.m.

Officials have not determined what caused the power line to fall. No cars were involved in the incident, Kohley said.
