The underground fire happened at around 3:30 a.m. and left a block of Brigham Street without power. Con Edison says about 53 customers were affected.
The carbon monoxide levels began dropping in about a dozen homes evacuated a couple of hours later.
There is no word yet on when power will be fully restored.
