After firefighters splashed the school band with ice water, the fire truck's aerial bucket made contact with power lines, the university's resident director told WHAS11 News.
Power went out in a large part of the Campsbellsville area — including the school campus — leaving at least 4,500 people without electricity, a spokesperson for LG&E-KU told Wave 3 News.
