ConFire extinguished a pole fire on Myrtle Dr., near Kirker Pass Rd. in Concord.
The pole fire started just after 4 p.m. on Saturday. PG&E is on their way to the scene.
UPDATE: Myrtle Drive is blocked from Saddlewood to Kirker Pass. It will be closed for at least another hour, until 7 p.m..
Pole fire? did a transformer blow up or did someone start it?
There’s no Transformer(s) on that pole.
very strange without lightning.
A transformer “popped” outside of my home. There was no fire. It was in the middle of a heatwave-July- more than a decade ago. It was old and due for replacement. So, don’t know why a fire would start when in the middle of winter and raining.
Well… as long as the stripper is OK that’s all that really matters.
