Transformer fire near home on South Emerald Lane

As discussed during the dispatch call, fire crews responded to a possible electrical transformer fire near the 1000 block of South Emerald Lane in Carbondale. Callers reported a transformer across from a residence was smoking heavily and had apparently blown. A resident described as an elderly woman confined to a hospital bed was inside a nearby home, and crews were given a door access code to contact her. Fire personnel later reported the fire was out, with no fire on the roof but an active fire condition noted during the response.
