PG&E Suspends Power in Northern California Due to Wildfire Threat

Reported 19 days ago

PG&E Corp. has cut power to nearly 25,000 customers across Northern California as strong winds and low humidity heighten wildfire risks. The utility announced service interruptions affecting 16 counties, primarily due to concerns of electric lines entangling with trees or igniting dry brush. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for the area, predicting gusts of up to 50 mph. This precautionary measure follows PG&E's past issues with wildfires linked to its equipment.
