September 4, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 400 Ergon Energy customers in the Memerambi, Gordonbrook, Durong, Proston and Boondooma areas lost power on Tuesday morning after a power pole was damaged by fire.<\/p>\n

The pole collapsed, bringing down wires and affecting customers drawing power from the Kingaroy to Boondooma line from 9:22am.<\/p>\n

By 1:30pm, Ergon crews had restored power to about 300 customers.<\/p>\n

An Ergon Energy spokesman said the full restoration of power was not expected until about 7:00pm once crews have been able to gain safe access to replace the pole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
