fire-2-2

There was a fire underground in Terre Haute over the weekend.

It was an electrical fire that workers with Duke Energy say they had to take their time managing.

Firefighters were sent to an area near the Candlewood Suites Hotel in downtown Terre Haute Sunday evening.

Several businesses in the area lost power and smoke was seen coming from underground.

Duke Energy workers say the fire was the result of an aging electrical system which they have been working the last several months to replace.
