There was an unusual sight in the Village of Lakewood Tuesday evening, as a well-known hot air balloon got tangled in some power lines, not far from Chautauqua Lake. Lakewood-Busti Police and Lakewood firefighters were called to 18 Webster Street shortly before 7:45 PM after the “Jesus by the Sea” balloon got caught. National Grid also responded to assist. Chautauqua County dispatchers say no injuries were reported. Crews were at the scene for just over 30 minutes. The balloon is owned by local enthusiast Geoff Turner.
