SunGard Data Systems backup generator shut down during Fire Department visit

The Nashville operation of SunGard Data Sytems, which handles e-commerce and data storage for customers, was ordered to shut down its back-up generator Sunday by the Nashville Fire Department, causing its customers to be idle for less than one hour.

At roughly 12:45 p.m. Sunday, a wire in an underground cable connection caused a fire in a vault that houses a Nashville Electric Service transformer, causing a power outage at the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce building at 211 Commerce Street, according to Nashville ElectricService and the building manager, The Mathews Co.
