HARTFORD — United Illuminating said an overhead wire made contact with a wooden arm of a telephone pole and the pole caught fire near the New Haven/North Haven border.
They said 1,200 customers are without power initially at around 7 a.m., but that number was lowered to about 340 customers just after 8 a.m.
Repairs expected to be complete by 9 a.m. but all customers may have power back before that.
