Transformer fire has caused temporary telecom outage downtown

A transformer fire that occurred downtown earlier today has caused some serious damage to several fiber cables. FPB’s Cable/Telecom Department is making repairs that will take some time to restore service. FPB is directly contacting business customers who have been affected.

A Transformer blew a fuse which caught the cutout on fire and burnt fiber cables behind the parking garage on Buffalo Alley today. This has caused a temporary telecom outage in the area.
