According to the I love Fairland Northcliff Facebook page, the Florida Glen substation is on fire and as a result, many residents are without power.
The substation on Gordon Road supplies power to areas in Northcliff and Florida.
Police are on the scene and have barricaded the substation, according to residents on social media. The cause of fire is still unknown.
