A burning wire has been identified as the cause of a brief power outage in the west end of the Rainy River district yesterday.
About 700 Hydro One customers in the Morson, Big Island and Big Grassy First Nations and Lake of the Woods township areas lost power just before 4 a.m. Sunday.
Hydro One says crews had to cut power to make repairs to the wire burning on a crossarm.
Power was fully restored within an hour.
