Power has been restored to about 1,000 customers in the Chatham area after a pole fire early this morning.

About 1,000 people in the Ailsa Craig area including Nairn, are still in the dark, also due to a pole fire.

The original estimated time of restoration was 8 a.m. but according to Hydro One, the timing is being reassessed.
