(KNSI) – A pole holding power lines caught fire on Friday morning causing an outage in Sartell and north St. Cloud.
Xcel Energy Spokesperson Kevin Coss told KNSI News that around 5,700 customers were affected. The company says crews were able to restore power to virtually all residents by noon and the rest would have power restored shortly after.
The company is investigating to determine what started the fire.
