A farmers market was temporarily evacuated and power was out on the Balboa Peninsula over the weekend after a report of a manhole explosion, according to authorities.
About 11:42 a.m. Sunday, Newport Beach firefighters responded to an electrical vault fire at Via Oporto and Via Lido, according to a news release from the Newport Beach Fire Department.
About 50 people were evacuated, while City Hall, the Newport Beach Lido fire station and surrounding areas were temporarily without power because of the blast, the release said.
Southern California Edison responded to the scene about an hour after the call, and power was restored to the fire station and City Hall, according to the Daily Pilot.
