Transformer on a telephone pole ignites... pretty spectacular. Most people dont realize that those cans are oil-cooled transformer coils, and if you overload them, they can heat up to a point where the oil will ignite. Im guessing that someone in the neighborhood modified their wiring to draw more than the rated power, or maybe someone shot a hole in one of the cans and some of the oil leaked out lessening its ability to keep the coils cool. The other commentary is why are they asking if someone called it in over 3 minutes into the video? I would have called it in as soon as I saw the smoke!
