The City of Hollywood said a downed FPL pole has led to a power outage in the downtown area.
Florida Power & Light crews are working to repair the downed power pole located in the alleyway between Hollywood Boulevard and Harrison Street between 19th and 21st Avenues.
Hollywood Fire Rescue crews responded to a call of a smoldering power pole at about 11 p.m. on Friday.
