The attack by the furry little critters has begun.
This happened at the last utility I worked for, the poor thing used his body to complete a circuit that was supposed to be open at a substation, one main breaker and several feeders popped open which resulted in about half the feeders going down, several neighborhoods lost power. I dont remember the exact numbers but I think he was channeling about 8MW before the breakers tripped, probably the most powerful squirrel in the universe for a moment.
Somewhere I saw an article stating Colorado power stations were victim to a suspected foreign actor attack… I wonder if it was the squirrels all along?? Lol
Good instinct, though I suspect this ridiculous story about squirrels is just covering up a laundry fire inside the substation.
Be the squirrel you want to see in the world.
Burnt to a crisp?

Squirrels are a major cause of house fires. They love chewing on all those tasty wires in the attic. Just an fyi
Mr nutterbutter no!
Local treasure, Kyle Clark, did a bit about this:
This happens was more often that you would think.
When squirrels start doing what humans should…
Furry war! Shoot furries! And quadrobers too! Make substations great again. Beaver power! Bears unite!
