A transformer fire left portions of Penn Yan without power Sunday, prompting a response from local firefighters and safety reminders for drivers navigating darkened intersections.
The Hunter Hook & Ladder Volunteer Fire Company reported the outage April 26, warning residents that some areas of the village were impacted as crews responded to the incident.
Officials urged motorists to use caution where traffic signals were affected, reminding drivers to treat any non-functioning traffic light as a four-way stop.
Firefighters were on scene addressing the situation, though details about the cause of the transformer fire or the extent of the outage were not immediately available.
Residents were advised to remain alert in affected areas until power is fully restored.
