About 1,300 customers are without power Tuesday night in L.A.'s Los Feliz neighborhood, near where a brush fire was raging in Griffith Park.
The DWP says flames brought down a number of power lines in the area. Crews were waiting for fire officials to clear the area before they can go in and make repairs.
Power went out just before 8 p.m. in the neighborhood around the 1500 block of Hillhurst Avenue, and in another small section at Hoover Street and Camero Avenue.
Officials say they can't yet predict when power might be restored.
