“In order to safely make repairs, we’re taking an outage to Sanford and the surrounding area. No estimated time for restoration at the moment,” Manitoba Hydro said in a tweet.
Bruce Owen with Manitoba Hydro said pole fires are a risk this time of year.
“We’ve got the grime of winter on a lot of our insulators, particularly on roadways. With that rain, if that moisture connects on some insulators, it creates almost like a short circuit. The electricity comes through that insulator, comes to the pole, and creates a fire,” said Owen.
