There are about 2,500 people without power in Scarborough this Saturday morning, according to Toronto Hydro.
In a video, submitted to and reviewed by CTV News Toronto, a transformer located at Lawrence Avenue East and Orton Park Road can be seen appearing to explode – sparks fly as a boom noise erupts – at around 9 a.m.
Toronto Fire Services confirmed they responded to reports of a transformer fire, but when they arrived the pole was only smoking. “Crews are on-site working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible," the statement reads, adding power has been restored to about half of the affected customers.
