NORFOLK, Va. — About 800 customers in the area of West 21st Street and Colonial Avenue in Norfolk are out of power due to an equipment failure.
Dominion Energy spokeswoman Cherise Newsome said the equipment failure caused a power pole fire, leading to the outage for about 800 customers. A Dominion crew is on scene assessing damage and working to restore power by this evening, Newsome stated.
There’s also a wire down in the area, Newsome stated.
“We ask the community to stay away from any downed power lines, as they could be energized,” she said.
There's no word on when power may be restored.
