A damaged power pole supporting the main power transmission lines into the city of Jonesville is to blame for a wide-spread power outage. Most of Fayette Township and all of the city of Jonesville lost power just before noon Friday, June 2. A 911 caller reported a transformer on fire on North Bunn Road just north of U.S. 12 minutes later, but when the Jonesville Fire Department arrived on the scene, they found a support cross-member of a tall power pole had broken and was dangling approximately 50 feet in the air. Consumers Energy's Outage Map estimated power restoration by 5 p.m. June 2.Outage link: www.consumersenergy.com/outagemap
