Lines down burned the grass at this house at Scenic and Grant. You can see the line over the fire hydrant.
Two different transformers caught on fire in the area of Scenic and Grant drive next to a PUD substation and a grass fire was reported just north of Scenic Drive on Beverly Boulevard.
Everett Fire crews dealt with the grass fire and residual hot spots from the transformer fires while PUD crews responded and rerouted power and put out the transformers.
As of 4:15PM only 39 customers were without power and PUD crews were working on those. Cayle Thompson tells MyEverettNews.com they are looking into what caused the equipment to fail.
Here are a few MyEverettNews.com photos of the Fire and PUD crews at work. Click photo to enlarge.
