Naugatuck Walmart loses power after lighting strikes
NAUGATUCK, Conn. (WTNH) — Transformers struck by lightning triggered a power outage at the Naugatuck Walmart, according to fire crews. At approximately 6 p.m., the fire department received a call from the local Walmart regarding an exposure and an outside fire. Naugatuck Fire Chief Ken Hanks said, 'We found a transformer that had failed. We believe it may have been related to a lightning strike in the area.' Eversource crews are on the scene, working to isolate power in the affected section, and Walmart remains without power. 'There have been some power outages due to the lightning strike. Apparently the lightning energy came back through the powerlines and into the transformers,' Hanks said. Fire crews are cutting the power through transformer paths and are doing their best to keep the power on for residents. Once the transformers stop smoking, Eversource will replace each one.
