POWER OUTAGE ON LILAC

Early Monday morning residents of Hideaway Lake Mobile Estates heard a loud crack before their electricity went off. The power went off for many houses in the Lilac Road area at around 7:40 a.m.

According to Valley Center Fire Marshal George Lucia, what probably happened was that the lightning protector on a utility pole in the park overloaded.

"We suspect it was some sort of overload that tripped out the surge protector." No fires resulted from the incident and the power was back on in about 20 minutes.
