News: Electricity Sub-Station Fire

Post by sean »

Have just seen on the news that large parts of Sydenham are without electricity. If this is the case and Stuart can't get on-line I thought I'd tell you what's happening.

Thousands of homes across south London are without power after a fire at an electricity sub-station. About 30 firefighters had to tackle the blaze which broke out earlier at the Sydenham Park Road sub-station in Forest Hill.

Four transformers were engulfed in flames and two are still on fire. The power cut led to scores of security alarms being triggered. EDF energy said engineers are working to resolve the high-voltage power cut.

BBC cameras are on their way to Sydenham so put your face on incase you get filmed!

Beat them to it! Have got some movies. I have had to visit friends in Lambeth to get power/internet. Will get them online asap.
Meanwhile I'll close this thread. Please follow up in "Big Fire" http://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2262
