HILLBURN, N.Y. – Multiple agencies, including the police, teamed up to battle a transformer fire at a Con Edison substation in Hillburn that took about 15 hours to completely contain.

The fire started about 8 p.m. Friday, about 150 feet away from the Torne Brook.

Metal casing made containing flames difficult, and the fire flared back up several times, FiOS1 News reports.
