A transformer on a power pole was damaged when a fish landed on it earlier this month, leaving thousands temporarily without power, officials said.
The transformer, a device that changes the voltage of electricity, was probably damaged when a bird dropped the fish on it, causing the coils inside to become misaligned, said Chris Hoenig, a spokesperson for the utility company.
The outage happened on the morning of Aug. 12, when Jersey Central Power & Light received reports that about 2,100 customers were without power, Hoenig said. On the day of the outage, a dispatcher called Lt. James Novak, a spokesperson for the Sayreville Police Department, to explain that the power had gone out after a fish was dropped onto the transformer.
He added a photo of a bird drawing he found from a Google search with the words “Suspect Sketch” splashed in red font across it. The suspect, Novak wrote, “was last seen flying South.”
