The Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services (HCDFRS) are evacuating some residents after a transformer fire this morning, according to a HCDFRS spokesperson.

Crews responded to the 3300 block of N. Chatham Road at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday, according to spokesperson Jackie Cutler.

As of about 11 a.m., there was no fire at the scene, but a "potentially hazardous" oil on the transformer is smoldering, leading to the evacuation of some nearby apartments.

HCDFRS has contacted Baltimore Gas and Electric Company.
