Power has been restored to 134 customers in downtown Minneapolis after an underground fire led to an outage after 6 a.m. Friday.
Power was back on by 8 a.m.
U.S. West and Ameriprise Financial were among the businesses affected, as well as Hennepin County Medical Center, which used backup generators during the outage.
