TAIPEI (TVBS News) — A manhole cover on the intersection of Zhongzhou Road and Zhongzhen Road in Tianzhong Township, Changhua County, suddenly began emitting smoke late Sunday evening (Aug. 6), drawing surprise and fear among locals.

Residents were forced into sudden darkness under flickering streetlights, stirring concerns of a gas explosion. The Taiwan Power Company responded swiftly on receiving reports and cited a burnt low-voltage underground cable connection as the probable cause.

 


More than 20 households are estimated to be affected by the power outage, as the company works urgently to restore electric functionality in the area. Nonetheless, the precise cause of the incident awaits further investigation.

The Fire Department, upon being alerted, arrived at the spot and sprayed water toward the maintenance hole to manage the smoke and cool the area. The exhaustive and immediate response from professional emergency services has ensured that risks have been minimized and the unexpected event managed effectively.
