Pole fire leads to outage

A power pole fire Monday night led to an outage as Grant PUD worked on fixing the problem. The Grand Coulee Volunteer Fire Department had the fire out about 11:30 p.m. but reported that several residences and street lights had no power while the utility replaced the pole and restored service. There were no injuries, and the fire damage was limited to the pole and the transformer, the fire department said on its Facebook.
