BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — Power has been restored to more than 14,000 customers following a fire at a substation in Broken Arrow on Thursday.

PSO said there was a fire at one of its substations in Broken Arrow along with an equipment malfunction. PSO said they de-energized the substation for the safety of first responders and to protect the equipment from further damage.

They are still working to determine the exact cause of the outage and the fire.

Broken Arrow Fire said 101st Street was originally closed between 145th East Avenue and 161st East Avenue due to substation fire, but the road has since been reopened.
