A transformer in a block of flats in Muchamiel , near Alicante , cauded 60 apartments to be evacuated last Sunday .
It seems that this transformer has already broken down a number of times and on this occasion a spark started a fire which set alight materials which caused a great deal of black , acrid smoke .
Residents were evacuated because of the danger from the smoke . They all returned once the fire had been put out , although they were then without electricity for many hours afterwards .
The residents are calling for a complete overhaul of the transformer now .
