Power Outages and Fire Department overtime?

While at the Savin Rock Road Race, I talked with another taxpayer regarding the recent Friday July 28 thunderstorm that knocked down trees (including one that fell in front of Mayor Picard's home). In this taxpayer's neighborhood, lines went down, and his electricity went out at about 6 pm, and didn't come back on until 2 am.

During that time, there were West Haven Fire Department staff posted at either end of the road where the lines were down. As several neighbordhoods were impacted, and Fire staff and police staff were out assisting, one wonders how much overtime we paid???
