Another danger from any system with uninsulated wires which run near others is that storms often bring the different wires into contact, and thus currents of great intensity may flow into channels not intended for them. Several recent accidents have been due to this cause, such as the killing of a horse in Cambridge, and the simultaneous burning of four or five houses in Somerville...
