Several hundred residents of National Mine and Palmer in western Marquette County are without power this morning.
Integrys Energy Group says that crews from UPPCO are on site at a burning pole.
The remaining repairs to the pole will cause an outage for about 600 customers in National Mine and Palmer.
Integrys is expecting everyone to have power restored by 1:30 to 2 this afternoon, and they say they’ll release more information if anything changes.
