An electrical fire occurred late Monday night, blowing out the power on some of the houses on the 4100 block of Walnut Street.
Division of Public Safety spokesman Jared Hupp said the arcing of power lines on the block caused a pole to catch fire.
Philadelphia Fire Department were called and secured the area while PECO de-energized the electrical lines so that firefighters could extinguish it.
Several houses lost their power temporarily, but no one was injured and no damages were reported.
