wccsradio.com · last updated

First responders and crews from REA Energy are at work trying to restore power and put out a brush fire in White Township this afternoon.

Indiana Fire Association Company 1 was called out for a brush fire near the intersection of Warren Road and Kacie Lane at 12:43 PM.  Fire officials say it was due to a downed power line in the area, and with the ground still dry, conditions were ripe for a spark to set the grass on fire.

REA Energy’s outage map shows 1102 of its cooperative members without power as of 1:00 this afternoon.  Power is expected to be restored by 4:30 PM.

Penelec’s customers are not affected by the fire.
