About 110,000 PG&E customers in San Francisco have had power restored after a major Saturday outage caused by a fire inside a PG&E substation. Roughly 21,000 customers remain without power, concentrated in Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, the Richmond District and small downtown areas. The fire began about 2:15 p.m. and was under control by 4:24 p.m. PG&E said the substation damage was significant and that repairs and safe restoration will be complex, and mobilized additional engineers and electricians without giving a full restoration timeframe. San Francisco officials warned against indoor use of gas stoves, grills and generators and urged travel caution; most emergency calls involved people stuck in elevators and fire alarms.
