Power Pole Fire Leaves Customers Without Power
October 9, 2009
A pole and transformer fire caused dozens of Escambia River Electric Cooperative customers to lose power Friday afternoon. The fire, reported about 2 p.m., was on a pole on Highway 164 between Highway 97 and Green Village Road. Once EREC arrived and determined there was no power at the pole, the Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue quickly extinguished the small fire at the top of the pole. EREC then went to work to repair the damage. NorthEscambia.com photo, click to enlarge.

Good Job EREC!
Me — the fire would have been started by the transformer or shorted wires.
How did a fire start on top of a power pole? I haven’t seen any lightning.
