Two hundred and sixty customers lost their power in Calistoga Tuesday morning when a squirrel got into electrical equipment on Grant Street, Pacific Gas & Electric reported.
A crew was working in the area as part of a planned outage that affected 136 other customers, said Deanna Contreras, a PG&E spokesperson.
The crew heard the sound of the unexpected outage and found the remains of the animal, she said.
The squirrel-based outage occurred at 11:10 a.m. Power was expected to be restored shortly, she said during the noon hour.
