Lessons learned
- Treat an early report of a substation fire as a prompt to confirm asset condition and supply impact before drawing conclusions.
- Limit public statements to what is confirmed until the operator or fire service reports the cause.
- Keep fire detection and isolation arrangements under review so a local fire is less likely to spread.
