Austintown, Canfield recover from storm

There are power outages and downed trees all over Austintown and Canfield.

Robert Frost, Austintown assistant fire chief, said the majority of calls came between 8 and 11 p.m. Sunday.

“We had over 50 calls of power lines and trees down,” he said. “Some of the township still doesn’t have power back — there were a lot of trees on houses.”

Frost said some of the hardest his areas of Austintown were Kirk Road, New Road and Wedgewood Park.

In Canfield, Fire Chief Robert Tieche said both city and township residents were without power for at least four hours Sunday night. “As far as I know power for all areas within the fire district is back on,” he said.

Tieche said the areas that took the brunt of the storm were in the main square of the city. “A portion of West Main Street, from state Route 446 into the square, was blocked off for four hours because of trees and sparking transformers.”

He said other areas with heavy damages were South Broad Street, state Route 46 and the Mill Creek MetroParks.
