The Flash: Caused by high-voltage "arcing" (electricity jumping the gap) as the fault occurs or when the fuse breaks the circuit. - this is the safety mechanism doing what it's supposed to do.

Or - When you see a blinding flash and hear a loud boom, but the nearby transformer remains intact, it is almost always a blown line fuse (expulsion fuse).
