A tree is on the power line / there are sparks outside in Franklin

The tree has become an electrical conductor. Green wood and wet bark carry current, so the tree itself, any fence or gutter it touches, and the ground in a radius around a downed conductor can all be energized. Until the utility says otherwise this is an electrical incident that happens to involve a tree, not a tree job that happens to involve a wire.
