Multiple fire crews responded to a large brush fire on Colonel Talbot Road early Thursday.
Both stations in Southwold Township responded to the fire around 1 a.m. Thursday.
In addition to the crews from Talbotville and Shedden, the London Fire Department also provided assistance.
Elgin OPP say that someone had intentionally cut down a hydro pole with three transformers on it, and a section of copper was stolen from the downed lines.
Police say that resulted in the sparking of wires, leading to the large brush fire.
No injuries were reported, and a damage estimate is still being determined.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact OPP or Crime Stoppers.
