Multiple buildings in downtown Reading, Massachusetts, are dealing with "major electrical issues" Wednesday morning, according to the local fire union, while business owners reported having their lights go crazy.

Police confirmed that Main Street was shut from Woburn to Haven streets as the fire department investigated. They asked the public to avoid the area.

One business owner said lights inside "went crazy" during the apparent power surge, and outlets started smoking.

The Reading fire union said all of its companies were on Main Street attending to the issue. Neither they nor the police department gave more information.
