A fire broke out at the Hoover Dam on Tuesday at about 10 a.m. local time when a transformer caught fire, sending plumes of black smoke into the air, according to the Bureau of Reclamation.

The fire was extinguished about 30 minutes later by the Reclamation/Hoover fire brigade, the bureau’s Regional Director Jacklynn L. Gould said in a statement. There were no injuries to employees or visitors, Gould said (h/t: CNN).
“There is no risk to the power grid,” according to Jacklynn L. Gould, the federal Bureau of Reclamation’s regional director for the Lower Colorado Region. The fire ignited around 10 a.m. and was out within a half-hour, she said.

“[T]he fire was extinguished before Boulder City Fire Department arrived on the scene. Bureau of Reclamation/ Hoover Dam will be handling any additional questions,” the official account of Boulder City wrote in a tweet. 

#Hooverdam – the fire was extinguished before Boulder City Fire Department arrived on scene. Bureau of Reclamation/ Hoover Dam will be handling any additional questions.
