USA, New York: Yesterday an underground transformer exploded in Hartsdale and caused manhole explosions. Parts of Hartsdale also lost power supply.
The explosion occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. near 100 East Hartsdale Avenue.
“Several manhole covers were blown open during initial explosions and there is concern of additional as the fire spreads,” Police Chief Chris McNerney said in a statement yesterday. He added that there were no reported injuries.
“Con Edison needs to go into the manhole where the fire was, but they are still receiving high carbon monoxide levels,” McNerney later stated. “They have a generator on scene that they will connect to the power source to get 100 East Hartsdale Avenue powered.“
“They have advised that they are not leaving until power is restored. Unfortunately, at the moment, they cannot give me an ETA on time of restoration to 100 East Hartsdale.”
