Downed Power Line Sparks Small Fire; Cuts Power About 3 Hours
September 25, 2012
A downed power line left many Gulf Power customers in the dark for about three hours Tuesday morning in the Cantonment and Gonzelez areas.
The power line was reported down alongside Highway 29 near Faith Chapel North in Cantonment about 4:25 a.m. A small grass fire caused by the power line was out before the Ensley Station of Escambia Fire Rescue arrived on scene.
Power was reported out from the area of the downed line south to Roberts Road until about 7:25 a.m. As many as 2,400 Gulf Power customers lost power.
“Gulf Power reminds customers to always stay clear of downed power lines and report them immediately by calling 911,” said Jeff Rogers, spokesman for Gulf Power.
