The transformer deluge system activated. The fire brigade responded and offsite assistance from the fire department was obtained to help extinguish the fire. The fire department has since departed the site. An Unusual Event was declared at 2211 EST based on the transformer fire lasting longer than 15 minutes. The fire was extinguished at 2227 EST.
