Not reported.
- Substations can be damaged by fires that start outside the site boundary, so operators should know what combustible material and structures sit close to their assets.
- Procedures for rapid isolation and de-energisation should be ready for use when a fire approaches substation plant.
- Early public reporting of cause and outage impact helps other operators judge whether the same exposure exists on their own sites.
