A fire incident on Friday, May 1, 2026, reportedly engulfed the power house of the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) in Lunsar, raising concerns over power infrastructure in the area.
According to reports from the scene, the blaze, described as disastrous, broke out at the EDSA facility during the evening hours, threatening to spread beyond the immediate power house.
The situation, however, was brought under control following what sources described as the timely intervention of the Marampa Mines Limited fire force.
Witnesses stated that the response team “came quickly to support” efforts to contain the fire and prevent it from taking over the entire EDSA installation in Lunsar.
No official statement has yet been released by EDSA regarding the cause of the fire or the extent of the damage. It is also not immediately clear whether the incident has affected electricity supply in Lunsar and surrounding communities.
Local sources credited the rapid response of the Marampa Mines Limited fire force as critical in averting a more severe disaster at the facility.
Investigations into the incident are expected as authorities assess the damage and determine the circumstances surrounding the outbreak of the fire.
