Hydro Outage Unplanned


A pole fire is being blamed for a power outage that affected much of the west end of the Rainy River district late yesterday afternoon.

The outage, which impacted nearly 38-hundred Hydro One customers between Fort Frances and Rainy River, occurred shortly after 4 p.m. and came following a planned one in parts of the district.

Power was fully restored by 9:30 p.m.
