DOVER, OHIO — A squirrel caused a minor electrical power outage on E. 14th St. in Dover Tuesday afternoon.
Larry Lautzenheiser, assistant superintendent of the city’s Electric Field Division, said the squirrel caused a fuse to blow on a transformer at about 3:55 p.m.
A resident of the area reported to police that she heard a loud explosion, which Lautzenheiser said was the fuse blowing.
A crew replaced the fuse, and fewer than a dozen homes in the area were without power for about 30 minutes, Lautzenheiser said.
