Electricity has been restored after over a thousand Woodland residents were affected by a power outage caused by a single squirrel early Tuesday morning, according to Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue Chief John Nohr.
The Cowlitz County PUD outage map reported that 1,125 residents were without electricity at one point.
Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue Engine 29 Capt. Kenny Bjur told The Daily News crews responded at roughly 7:10 a.m.
Alex Dietz, spokesperson of the Cowlitz County PUD, said the outage was restored at 8:55 a.m.
Bjur said the lone rodent “pretty much (affected) the whole city.”
