In SNT «Rodnik» in Irkutsk, a fire occurred on a high-voltage line. Local residents, without waiting for repair services to arrive, began to fix the problem themselves.
This line provides electricity to more than 1,200 homes. The fire occurred due to a significant load in frosty conditions, when many residents turned on the maximum power of the heaters. Emergency services did not answer calls. So a local electrician and a few handy residents had to take on the problem. By morning, specialists arrived at the scene, but there was nothing left to repair. Telegram channel Babr Mash writes about this.
Workers inspected the substation and found that due to overvoltage, the machines were constantly turning off, which could lead to a re-ignition.
