“We are aware that some of our customers in Bannatyne, Christ Church and surrounding communities are without electrical supply,” according to a brief statement on the company’s social media pages.

“This outage is due to a grass fire in the area which has damaged several utility poles. Our crews are currently on standby to begin repair work once the fire has been extinguished.
