UPDATE: As of Friday morning power was restored to all customers. 

BATON ROUGE - Crews are on the scene of a fire at a building on Scenic Highway.

The fire occurred at a building on Scenic Highway near Gracie Street around 9:30 p.m. Baton Rouge Police Department officials said an 18-wheeler hit a power line, which fell and sparked, causing the fire.

Several buildings were without power due to outages in the area surrounding the location of the fire. A map of local outages provided by Entergy showed that as many as 1,200 customers did not have electricity as of 10:15 p.m.

Entergy told News 2 reporters on scene power would probably be out in the area until Friday morning.
