VIDEO: Transformer Fire Causes Water Main Break

Members of the Lake Mohegan Fire Department and Yorktown's water department were on the scene Tuesday.

In Yorktown, a downed wire caused a water main break at the corner of Barger Street and Oriole Court in Shrub Oak, affecting some 50 houses in the area as well as about 119 people at Trump Park Residences. 

"We think the wire came down, hit the valve box and it caused the water main break," Water Superintendent David Rambo said. "The whole street is out of water. We can't do anything until ConEd comes."

Rambo said the transformer wire has been on fire since some time last night.
