Greece, N.Y. - A homeowner in Greece is upset saying that RG&E crews wouldn't help after ice caused wires to come crashing down on his property.

"it sounded like a plane landed on my roof, it just came down. There was probably 600 pounds of ice down there and it hit the wire going across my driveway and took it down and the wire was hanging in my driveway. A live wire," said George St. George.

St. George says he called the utility company and was told a crew would come right out.

When he came home from work that night, the wire was still there, along with a note from RG&E.

St. George says that he was told he had to hire an electrician to take care of the wire.

In a statement, RG&E said "in general, we are not responsible for damages that are caused by your use of electricity on your premises."

St. George wants to be this to be a lesson to other homeowners. If a wire that is not attached to a utility pole comes down on your property, you may have to fix it yourself.
