Power was restored to hundreds of PG&E customers following a blackout that happened earlier this week, officials said Saturday.
The outage began Wednesday night just after 9 p.m. That's when PG&E was notified about damage to its underground equipment in San Francisco near Clay and Montgomery.
At its peak, more than 9,000 customers were without power.

Earlier on Saturday about 300 customers were still in the dark.
San Francisco Fire Department told NBC Bay Area that just before 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, PG&E crews were working on a vault on the 300 block of Sansome Street when an equipment fire broke out. PG&E said its workers quickly put the fire out.
SFFD confirmed that no one was hurt by this fire.
PG&E said that Saturday at around 4:45 p.m. power was restored to all customers impacted by the underground equipment damages.
However, Saturday evening just past 7:45 p.m. PG&E announced more outages in the nearby areas of Washington and Sacramento Streets, impacting 83 customers. PG&E said its crews are working to identify the cause of those outages.
There was another vault fire earlier in the week, San Francisco Fire Department posted on Twitter that a vault fire happened at 640 Clay Street at 8:42 p.m. on Wednesday. No injuries occurred as a result of that incident, San Francisco Fire said.
On Saturday, many restaurants on California Street, including Estiatorio Ornos San Francisco, Tadich Grill, and Perbacco were closed due to the power outages.
Carol Cronin of Vacaville arrived at the Tadich Grill dismayed to learn she wasn't going to eat the seafood she'd hoped for.
“It’s a staple, we’re a little confused that it's closed,” Cronin said, adding that she'd heard about the outages but didn't realize Tadich Grill had been impacted.
Umberto Gibin, the owner of the restaurant Perbacco said the power outages have impacted his restaurant "tremendously."
"We were closed Thursday, Friday, and today," he said on Saturday, explaining that the closures mean lost revenue for Perbacco. Gibin said his restaurant staff had to relocate several large parties and also had to throw out food due to the outages.
Gibin said Perbacco will be back open on Tuesday as regularly scheduled.
