SQUIRREL TRIGGERS BLACKOUT 8,600 LOSE POWER BECAUSE OF FIRE
1996
Overview
A marauding squirrel triggered a fire at a high-voltage substation Thursday afternoon, dousing power to 8,600 customers for more than four hours and causing major headaches for public works crews and police. \"It took out all of our traffic signals, which caused us a problem,\" said San Fernando police Sgt. David Harvey. \"We had several minor traffic accidents and a lot of phones were down during this time.\" The fire began at the unmanned substation at 15001 Mission Blvd. about 12:20 p.m. when the squirrel crawled onto a circuit breaker and caused an electric arc, or \"flashover,\" said Steve Hansen, spokesman for Southern California Edison.
