RAW VIDEO - Transformer on fire on Oregon Road, Cortlandt Manor

Approximately 11:00 pm last night Cortlandt Manor FD received calls for a transformer explosion and fire at the corner of Oregon Road and Pump House Road. This is in the Town of Cortlandt Manor but is within the Mohegan Lake Fire District At one point flames could be seen shooting around 50 feet into the air. Con Edison was immediately called to the scene to cut power since FD can’t put anything on a fire that is electrically charged. Once Con Edison turned off numerous switches, effectively isolating the transformer, FD was finally able to put foam on the fire and put the fire out quickly. At once point as many as 200 customers were without power but that was quickly brought down to 13 once the transformer was isolated and fire extinguished. There were no reported injuries and no surrounding structures were damaged. It took around 3 hours to get the flames under control. Oregon Road 2 blocks in either direction from the fire was shut down due to emergency activity. Unknown how long it will take to repair the transformer and if any other customers will lose power during the repairs. County Haz-Mat, NYS-DEC Spill Response, Westchester County Special Operations and numerous other emergency services were called to the scene to assist.
