BOISE — Up to 7,200 Idaho Power customers lost power just after 2 p.m Friday afternoon in downtown Boise, according to Idaho Power.
As of 3:25 p.m., power was restored.
Idaho Power says a bird got into equipment at a substation. The bird caught on fire and started a small grass fire outside the substation, knocking out power to downtown.
The Record Exchange, located at 1105 W Idaho Street in downtown Boise, tweeted a photo of the store in the dark.
