TROY — A power outage apparently sparked by an animal has knocked out the power in Lincoln County.
According to a social media post, the animal caused “significant damage” at a substation and sparked the outage.
The Northern Lights outage map shows approximately 1,200 members are without power in the Troy area.
A Bonneville Power Administration crew is on the way to repair the damage.
However, the power is expected to remain out for several hours.
