Two boys have been arrested on suspicion of arson after a blaze at a derelict bingo hall in a town centre.
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to Kettering's former Gala Bingo, on the junction of High Street and Meadow Road, at about 18:10 BST on Sunday.
The fire spread to a nearby electricity sub-station knocking out power for several hours to a number of addresses.
Northamptonshire Police said the two 13-year-old boys remained in custody.
The force said a police cordon was placed around the affected area overnight and fire investigators moved on to the scene on Monday.
National Grid staff were likely to be on the site for a couple of days in order to carry out work to the damaged sub-station, it added.
