Transformer Fire Causes Smoke
According to the High Point Fire Department, a large transformer that supplies power to an outside generator caught fire. It only took crews a few minutes to put out the flames.
Although the fire proved not to be a structural one and nobody was injured in the fire, a light haze of smoke reached all floors of the building. As a precautionary measure, sheltering in place was recommended in several rooms of the residents while other residents were evacuated.
