The Worthington Times

Duke Energy quickly remedied a power outage in Worthington, Indiana today.  Late this morning, a loud pop, heard for many blocks, was followed by flames shooting out of a transformer (or something) located inside a Duke Energy "Danger-High Voltage" fenced area behind Michael's Truck Parts Store on SR 67.  The fire lasted long enough for the Worthington Times publisher to turn the car around, pull off the highway and get photographer Virginia in position to take the picture.  As the smoke cleared another small fire appeared higher up from the first.

The power was out all over town.  Town Marshal Dennis Conaway of the Worthington Police Department was the first to arrive, followed by the Worthington-Jefferson Township Volunteer Fire Department engine and several firefighters. 

Duke Energy then arrived, fixed the problem, and power was restored around 1:00 p.m.  There are three men working in the picture below.
