Text SizePrintE-mailReprints By Associated Press, BOSTON — Sections of Boston that lost power because of a smoky electrical transformer fire are slowly recovering but problems are expected to persist for most of the day.
The fire was reported at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and knocked out power to about 21,000 homes and businesses.

An NStar spokeswoman says the utility is bringing in generators and hopes to have power back to everyone by Wednesday evening.
The Prudential Tunnel on the Massachusetts Turnpike had been closed, but reopened on Wednesday morning.
Two subway stops in the area remained closed.
Police are advising people to stay away from the area.
