FirstEnergy has restored power to all but a few of its customers who lost power in Boardman and Canfield late Wednesday.
Power went out to nearly 2,500 homes and businesses, with most of them in Boardman. As of 4 a.m., the utility still reported 29 outages.
Officials say that a power line fell onto other lines and started to spark at a substation on Boardman-Canfield Road, causing the outage.
It's unclear at this time what caused the first line to fall. Power crews say they suspect someone crashed into a utility pole, though this has not yet been confirmed.
