LONG BEACH — On Aug. 27, a vault fire shut down power for about 2,739 Southern California Edison customers in Long Beach.
This is the fourth incident of its kind in two months. The outage, which took place at about 2:40 p.m., extended from Pacific Coast Highway to Magnolia and Hill Street to 16th Street. The heat wave may have had something to do with the fire. However, SCE officials have not confirmed the reason for the incident and say that the other incidents have no relation to yesterday’s outage.
