A grass fire Sunday evening just east of the Prior Sports Bar on Winners Circle in Arnprior synged the base of a power pole and then caused sporadic outages in the community as Hydro One crews worked on the repair.
Arnprior Fire answered the call to the grass fire at 6:23PM.
Acting Captain Jim Herbert responded with a 2500 gallon pumper-tanker due to concerns regarding fire hydrant proximity.
Crews were able to lay a line and quickly douse the fire.
Neighbours had heard a loud zapping noise just before the fire was extinguished so crews had dispatch alert Hydro One, who then arrived to repair the damage.
