Southern California Edison and the Montecito Fire Protection District responded Wednesday evening to a transformer explosion that knocked out power in the area of Eucalyptus Lane.
Edison spokeswoman Patricia Bartoli-Wible told Noozhawk that the outage occurred at 5:18 p.m., cutting electricity to 153 customers. Power to all but a few customers was restored by 8:30 p.m.
Edison’s website attributed the cause to trees that fell onto equipment.
Bartoli-Wible said affected streets included Humphrey and Jameson roads, as well as Eucalyptus Lane.
