SaskPower says a major outage that left customers north of Moose Jaw without power overnight between Friday evening and Saturday morning was initially caused by farm equipment. The power went out shortly before 5 p.m. on Friday. The Crown corporation says the outage was caused by an auger that became entangled in a power line, sparking a grass fire. Multiple poles and equipment damaged When crews arrived, they found three power poles down and damage to other equipment. Once the pole was replaced, power was still not restored, and additional damage was found at another location. A second SaskPower crew was dispatched to take over the repairs at 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
