The outage stretched from Linden Avenue to Pine Avenue between Sixth Street and Eighth Street, according to LBFD spokesman Jake Heflin.
The fire broke out underground in the 400 block E. Sixth street, Heflin said.
Nancy Araceli, a local resident, said she was sleeping when her husband told her that the power was out in her house.
“There was an explosion and something flew out,” Araceli said. “We didn’t know what it was then we noticed fire department lifting a manhole cover and smoke coming out of there.”
