Small power outage caused by raven

 

904 residents were without power for about 25 minutes earlier today.

 

Bruce Owen, Manitoba Hydro Public Affairs Officer says the outage was caused when a raven landed on some electrical equipment at a substation.

 

The outage happened at around 2:10pm. 

 

Owen says Manitoba Hydro crews responded quickly and reset the equipment to restore electricity.

 

The bird, however, did not survive.
