March 2 (Reuters) - Entergy ETR.N said on Monday that power was largely restored to customers in Lake Charles, Louisiana, after local media reported a fire at its substation.

Entergy said the vast majority of the approximately 4,500 customers who lost service had been restored.

The company said it would share more information once the root cause of the fire is determined.

     Smoke was visible across southern parts of the city after the blaze broke out at a substation off Big Lake Road, according to the local media report.
