Warren County Emergency crews were busy Friday afternoon responding to a surge in wind-related calls.

Incidents include downed trees blocking roads, power lines down and sparking small brush fires, and a tree falling into a home.

Officials urge residents to stay clear of downed power lines, secure loose outdoor items, and avoid wooded areas until the winds subside.

Crews are working with utility companies to clear hazards as quickly as possible.
