Power was out to parts of Oglesby for up to six hours yesterday afternoon and evening. City Commissioner Jason Curran says a fire inside an electrical box at the power station was one problem. A blown fuse when the electric department crew tried to get some people’s power on again was another. The problem that started the fire is being investigated today.
