North Bay Fire responded to more than 20 calls for assistance Friday night – including trees falling on cars and people trapped in their cars by fallen wires.

Structural issues at the former Sands Motel forced a decision to shut down Fisher Street between McIntyre and Worthington.

Power lines were down throughout the city, with North Bay Hydro responding.

A major outage to a Hydro One feeder serving North Bay Hydro substations left about 3,000 customers without power. North Bay Hydro expected it to be back in operation by midnight.

Customers along Highway 63 from Anita to city limits were without power early evening.
