## Resource

A dramatic fire erupted on a power pole in Island Bay Tuesday evening, sparked by a faulty switch and sending sparks flying down the pole. The blaze forced Wellington Electricity to shut off power to up to 130 homes to ensure firefighter safety, with crews bringing the fire under control by 7:30 PM. Residents shared videos of the chaotic scene as lights went out unexpectedly. Thankfully, power was restored by 10:30 PM, minimizing disruption, while engineers investigate how the switch failed to prevent future outages.
