Title: Fairfax-Fletcher-Fairfax Power Outage Caused By Pole Fire
Post by: Henry on June 10, 2008, 10:57:03 AM
Vermont Electric Coop reported when I called in around 7:30 a.m. that power was out in Fairfax, Fletcher and Westford due to a CVPS pole fire that feeds the Fairfax Falls Sub Station

A real nice group of guys who did give me an estimate on when they would be done with their portion of the repair.
