SaskPower expands inspections as 6th meter fire reported
SaskPower is now reporting a sixth meter box fire as a result of the extremely dry conditions.
It happened in Regina’s Walsh Acres neighbourhood Monday night.
SaskPower said shifting ground is pulling the wires out from the meters attached to homes, which can lead to a blaze.
Homes built in the 1960s and 70s with copper wiring are the most affected, typically in the Glencairn, Uplands and Normanview neighbourhoods.
