Power is now restored in the uptown.
It went out for about 45 minutes starting around 1:45 this afternoon.
City fire telling CHSJ News a transformer blew along Bayside Drive and Wullet Drive.
The wire was coming in off NB Power's tower and the utility was notified of the problem.
Saint John Fire also telling us many alarms are going off today.
That's because pipes are thawing and water flow in buildings activates the alarms.
