NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - A fire consumed a power transformer at Consolidated Edison Inc's Dunwoodie substation in Yonkers, New York early Wednesday morning, a company spokesman said. He said the fire affected only one of the station's many transformers and did not cause any injuries or cut off service to any customers. With many redundant systems at the substation, the spokesman said the company was able to continue to moving power through the station despite the fire. Electricity traders noted Dunwoodie was a major substation that transports power form Upstate New York and the Indian Point nuclear power plant to New York City and Westchester. The fire started at about 5 a.m. Eastern time and was still burning. The spokesman said Con Edison did not know the cause of the fire but would conduct an investigation once the fire was extinguished. Con Edison, of New York, provides electric, gas and steam service to more than 3 million customers in New York City and Westchester County, New York.
