Fort Providence's Big River and Snowshoe Inn gas stations lost power on Friday, warning drivers the community was unable to provide fuel.
Linda Croft, the Big River gas station's acting manager, told Cabin Radio an incident involving a truck damaging a power line caused a community-wide blackout at around 1:30 p.m. on Friday.
The Snowshoe Inn confirmed it, too, was unable to serve gas as of 3pm on Friday.
The inn, restaurant, coffee shop, and grocery store remain open with power as they operate from a separate power source.
“It’s very important it gets out there because we’re turning people away, there’s people parked out there who have no gas and there’s no way for us to get them gas,” Croft said.
