Power went out Tuesday morning for 1,160 homes on the outskirts of Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park as temperatures climbed toward potentially record-setting highs.

The outage began at 3:23 a.m., according to Pacific Gas & Electric Co. By 1 p.m., power was fully restored, said Deanna Contreras, a company spokesperson.

It spanned from the eastern outskirts of Rohnert Park up to the southeastern edge of Santa Rosa and Trione-Annadel State Park.

The outage was caused by a triggered safety setting, which workers could not locate.

"We cant say whether it was heat related or not,“ Contreras said.
