Homes left without power after fire at Cambuslang substation

Residents have been left without power following a blaze at an electricity substation.

Firefighters were called to the scene in Burn Terrace, Cambuslang , just after 6.30pm tonight.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent two fire engines to the scene to tackle the blaze.

SP Energy Networks tweeted that it was aware of a powercut in the G72 and G73 postcode areas and that engineers were working to restore supplies.

A statement posted on the SP Energy website said: "Our team has managed to restore power to a number of properties in the area and are still working to repair a damaged substation affecting the rest of our customers without power.

"We now expect all power to be back on as quickly and as safely as possible in stages by 3am."

There are no reports of any injuries.
