DEVELOPING: Widespread Power Outage Reported Across Rockland County Early Sunday Morning

Monsey Scoop · last updated

Hundreds of Rockland County residents across multiple communities lost electricity early Sunday morning after a sudden power outage struck the area at approximately 1:13 a.m.

Initial reports indicated that some homes and businesses quickly had their power restored, while many others remained without electricity for a period of time. According to preliminary information obtained by Monsey Scoop, the outage appears to have been caused by an issue involving a main component at an Orange and Rockland Utilities facility.

Orange and Rockland crews are working to restore service as quickly and efficiently as possible. As power has begun returning to several neighborhoods, multiple transformer fires have also been reported throughout the area, prompting responses from local emergency services.

This is a developing story. Monsey Scoop will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
