Power restored after Back Bay transformer fire

Power has been restored to the last of the customers who lost electricity after a smoky electrical transformer fire in Boston's Back Bay on March 13. The three-alarm fire that started in a garage adjacent to the Back Bay Hilton caused a blackout across the neighborhood and numerous MBTA stations to shut down. Take a look at scenes from the blackout.
