The details
A piece of equipment caught fire at the substation and the Roanoke Fire Department and Saginaw Texas Fire Department provided mutual aid for the incident. They worked with Oncor engineers to decide the best course of action to bring the incident to a close safely.
The fire was extinguished and the residents and business owners that had lost power had it restored quickly.
According to an Oncor representative, all residents who were powered by that substation were rerouted and should not experience any changes to their electricity.
Looking ahead
The substation will be repaired but there was no information on how long it will take.
There has been no updates on what caused the fire and there were no reported injuries.
