Transformer catches fire in Cambridge

2025Published 2 Oct 2026

CTV News reported that a transformer caught fire in Cambridge on Sunday, and published video of the fire. The available text does not say whether anyone was hurt, whether power was lost, or what caused the fire.

  1. Treat a reported transformer fire as an electrical hazard until the supply is confirmed isolated.
  2. Early reports may confirm only that a fire occurred; record time, place, equipment and any outage as soon as they are known.
  3. Video of a fire is not a substitute for a later technical review of cause.
