Not reported.

1. Substation fires can require attendance by the local fire service, so utilities should maintain clear emergency access and pre-agreed liaison arrangements with fire and rescue services.
2. Early public reporting of grid incidents is often limited to a headline, so operators benefit from publishing follow-up statements on cause and damage.
3. Prompt confirmation of supply status and any public safety risk helps limit disruption during substation fires.
