MIDLAND -- An electrical fire knocks out power in the Tall City.

This all happened Monday afternoon. Big 2 has learned that wires got crossed on a transformer, causing a spark. Oil near that transformer also caught fire before crews could put out the blaze.

Power will be out in the southern part of Midland for 4 to 6 hours.
