The lights are back on in a few north-west communities in and around Hidden Valley after being down for a few hours Friday afternoon.

The outage turned the power off for about 8,300 customers.

ENMAX tell 660News they are still not 100 per cent sure what caused the fire, but believe an earlier pole fire may have been to blame.
