An explosion and fire at a Gibraltar power station on Sunday blacked out much of the British outpost and halted international online betting operations including William Hill and Ladbrokes. A power station generator exploded because of mechanical problems, said police and government officials on the Rock. As thick smoke billowed over the territory, police told nearby residents to keep their windows closed to avoid breathing problems. No one was harmed, police and a spokesman for the Gibraltar government said. But the blaze interrupted Gibtelecom services, bringing down worldwide betting services such as Ladbrokes, William Hill and Betfred.
