Good evening, welcome to BBC Newsline. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
A man has died in a house fire in County Down. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The blaze was discovered at Cathedral View in Downpatrick | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
It's understood the man who died was in his 50s and was married. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
Politicians say the local community is in shock at the death. | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
people will stand shoulder to shoulder with the family in their | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
sad loss. I would also want to offer my sympathies on behalf of the | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
people of Downpatrick and the wider constituency to the gentleman's | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
family at this sad and tragic time for them. | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
Several thousand homes and businesses | :00:49. | :00:49. | |
temporarily lost power last night | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
due to a fault at a power station in west Belfast. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
There were reports of bright lights across the city's sky | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
With a bang and a flash of light, powered at for a number of seconds | :00:56. | :01:12. | |
at around 1115. There were emergency engineers on-site to check out from | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
a safety perspective. Equipment failures at a substation could cause | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
a bang and a flash, which we believe is what people saw last night. There | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
was nothing sinister involved. It was a piece of equipment which | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
failed in one of her substations and that would have caused a flash and | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
could also have caused the dip in power that we have seen. Although | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
the fold originated in West Belfast, it was heard on the motocross the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
city, sparking questions in homes and social area about what caused | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
it. I was in the house and just heard enough of buying and thought | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
it was like an explosion! Did you see any lights? I saw blue flashing | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
lights. I didn't know what to expect, if it was police or | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
ambulance coming, but it stay that long and was flashing that fast. I | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
heard a bang and a flash and my bedroom underwent white and blue and | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
different colours. What you do think it was? A meteor! I was watching | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
television, it just dipped off, the lights dimmed. And it went off and | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
within seconds, they came back on again. Investigations will continue | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
over the coming days to find out what exactly caused the equipment | :02:29. | :02:29. | |

the weekend, things have been deteriorating throughout the day | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
with spells of rain moving from the sites. That is setting us up for | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
quite a wait evening. Fairly persistent, locally heavy, bursts of | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
rain. It will dry up a bed across eastern counties during the course | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
of the night. Further west, likely to stay quite wet. At least it is a | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
frost-free night, with temperatures no lower than 5 degrees. Enter | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
