On February 7, 2025, a fire at a privately owned substation in Niles, MI, caused a power outage affecting the city and surrounding areas. The fire led to the failure of an AEP substation, triggering a safety shutdown of the city’s main substation. The outage lasted about 90 minutes, with an estimated loss of $50,000 in damages. Firefighters quickly controlled the blaze, and power was restored after AEP isolated the damaged substation. The outage also impacted Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and LaPorte County.

On February 7, 2025, a fire broke out at a privately owned substation in Niles, Michigan. The fire is believed to have caused a failure at an AEP substation, which triggered a series of events that led to a power outage. AEP’s isolation of their substation in response to the failure caused the city of Niles’ main substation to trip as a safety measure. The outage affected Niles and surrounding areas, including Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and LaPorte County.
The fire itself was contained by the Niles Fire Department, which was able to control the small blaze at the privately owned substation. The outage lasted about 90 minutes, with power being restored once AEP had isolated the damaged substation. The total estimated loss from the incident, including damage to equipment and service disruption, is approximately $50,000.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but this incident highlights the importance of reliable fire detection and prevention systems in substations. Early detection could have helped mitigate the damages caused by this fire and prevent such widespread outages.
Planck Vision Systems offers advanced thermal imaging cameras that are ideal for monitoring substations 24/7. These cameras can quickly detect temperature anomalies or potential fire hazards, helping to prevent costly failures. Whether mounted in a fixed position or using a pan/tilt drive system, the cameras provide clear thermal images of large areas, enabling early detection of problems. With the ability to spot issues before they escalate, Planck Vision Systems can help prevent future incidents like the one in Niles, minimizing financial losses and service disruptions.
