Two families had to be relocated for the night after a large falling tree limb pulled the weather head for the electric service off a duplex and started a smoldering fire.

Centralia City Firemen say the incident occurred at 710 North Sycamore around 5:30 Monday night.   The fire was confined to the weather head.

The two occupants, Kimberly Jackson and Lacy Olson, along with six children were evacuated from the home until repairs could be made.
