Was that a fire suppression system turning on around the 15 second mark? Or was that something else that was venting and ignited?

That was the cooling oil inside boiling over from what ive been told.

I'd venture to guess that wasn't one of standard power pole transformers.

appears to be a substation transformer

Yes they are filled with cooling oil that once the res. ruptures it goes from real bad to worse
