Power is out to 25 homes in the BX area of Vernon.
UPDATED: 6:35 p.m.
Power has been restored to the customers affected in the BX area of Vernon.
ORIGINAL: 4:36 p.m.
What is believed to be a blown transformer has left 25 BC Hydro customers in the dark.
Shortly before 4 p.m., BX/Swan Lake fire crews were called to the Wallace/Falcon Road area for a report of a tree on fire.
Before crews could arrive, the tree stopped burning, but power was cut to several homes in the area.
Crews reported seeing a tree leaning against some wires and a small explosion was heard before the tree went up in flames.
There is no word on when power will be restored, but BC Hydro crews are working on the repairs.
