Could be a squirrel chewed through a line or something.

Several weeks ago a transformer across the street blew up and we lost our power.

So I took a walk over to it and sure enough, there was a fried squirrel on the ground...LOL!

The problem is easily solved by providing insulation to the contact between the incoming wire and the transformer. Bug your power company if the problem frequently recurs
