Power For Squirrels Coincidence
I didn’t realise the problems that squirrels can cause. I came across the following which, of course, includes a coincidence.
By coincidence, another squirrel got into a substation 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich. and caused a temporary outage that affected 1,400 customers in Ironwood and two nearby communities,
The energy spokesman is quoted as saying: “We kind of liken it to anyone who’s had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out. They find a way.”
I then read in an old issue of the Free Lance-Star that in Fredericksburg a squirrel shorted a transformer at a substation behind the Park & Shop shopping centre, which served 3,500 customers, And (perhaps by coincidence) in the same month “…another squirrel blazed into the power company’s logbooks when it shorted a circuit breaker at a substation. Some 3,400 customers were in the dark for 37 minutes.”
And then I found yet another story in The Spokesman Review:
“Three patrol officers and two detectives were on their way when Deputy Ron Mulvey found the culprit.
“A squirrel shorted out an electricity transformer on a utility pole near the school, causing a transformer to explode. Mulvey said the squirrel was still smouldering when he found it.
“The deputies concluded that it was just a coincidence someone was running into the woods when the squirrel fried itself.”
So look out, look out there’s a squirrel about …
