A blast and fire at a natural-gas fired power plant in Chehalis was caused by a transformer explosion. No one was injured, according to a plant spokeswoman.
Jan Mitchell says the PacifiCorp-owned facility’s damage is limited to a large transformer on the edge of the property.
The fire did not involve the plant itself or natural gas.
