A transmission wire that caught fire along Northern Boulevard and Middle Neck Road in Flower Hill on Friday caused power outages for about 300 PSEG Long Island customers, officials said.
A portion of Northern Boulevard in Flower Hill was closed at about 6:10 p.m. in both directions due to the fire and reopened about an hour later, Nassau County Police said.
PSEG Long Island spokeswoman Elizabeth Flagler said some customers were without power for up to an hour and 40 minutes, while some had service restored about 10 minutes later.
She said heavy snow pulling down on the wire could have contributed to the cause of the fire.
