That gray-taped wire with the funnel-like things on it on the left side of the picture is one of the power lines. It's probably one of three that were up the pole. It's not supposed to be laying on the ground, and that's probably why they got burned up where they did. That line doesn't show any damage other than being out of a fuseholder or transformer on the pole, but you can bet there was some sparking and arcing going on before it ended up on the ground. You'd need pictures of more of the upper part of the pole to see exactly what they got into that caused that line to be laying on the ground...and those guys will never tell.
