In September 2026, a truck collided with an electrical pole in the Parque Bela Vista neighborhood of Apucarana, Paraná. The driver fled the scene, leaving cargo doors in the road and causing a total power outage after high-voltage cables fell onto the street. Military Police isolated the area to mitigate risks of electric shock.

By October 2026, a separate electrical incident occurred in Apucarana when a suspected short circuit caused flames to spread across a building facade. A resident prevented the fire from entering the home or affecting neighboring structures by disconnecting the electrical distribution board. No injuries were reported.
