Brandon watched the action as a utility pole at Pearl Street and Putnam Avenue burst into flames and exploded several times.

This is worry some.
A telephone pole... might have a transformer on it that is filled with oil (a fire fuel source). But those poles are also coated wood in oil and tar/asphalt (I think)
Add plastics and polymers that are used to coat CATV and Telephone cabling..
These are fire sticks just waiting to burst.
Even worse, it might be coal-tar creosote
