RP&L RESTORES POWER QUICKLY AFTER SUBSTATION INCIDENT
(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Power & Light crews were able to get power restored in about an hour after what was described by nearby residents as an explosion at the substation at Salisbury and Test Road on Sunday night. People across the area reported seeing two large flashes of light. There was even a report that fire had spread into a wooded area, but Battalion Chief Jerry Benjamin said that was not the case. "It was just a very small spot on the ground by one of the utility poles. We just had a very small fire on the ground. It wasn't significant whatsoever," Benjamin explained. RP&L had not said what caused the incident by 6 o'clock Monday morning.
