Firefighters from the Riverside County Fire Department extinguished an outdoor fire that caused a power outage in Indio Sunday.
The fire was reported at 10:35 a.m. Sunday in the 43000 block of Business Center Drive, according to the fire department.
An electric pole was involved in the fire and the Imperial Irrigation District cut power to the area, affecting around 1,500 customers.
The power was restored shortly after the fire was extinguished, but the IIG predicted that work on the pole would continue for about eight hours, and said additional power disruptions were possible.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
