About 163 properties in Highgate Hill were without power from 6pm last night after contact between a truck and overhead infrastructure brought down power lines and pole, starting a fire.
Downed power lines are still blocking an inner Brisbane road and delaying traffic.
A spokesperson for the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services said firefighters worked rapidly to control the situation.
“One power pole has been completely uprooted and multiple power lines on the street have been brought down,” they said.
