PG&E May Shut Off Power To Nearly 100,000 Customers Over Fire Concerns

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) announced power outages due to elevated fire danger, initially affecting three counties but later expanding to more areas, including the San Francisco Bay Area. Record-breaking heat and high winds are expected, raising concerns about wildfires. Power is likely to remain off until late Monday. Firefighters are already battling numerous wildfires, and dry, windy conditions could exacerbate the situation. PG&E is monitoring the weather and aims to notify affected customers at least a day in advance, advising them to update their contact information and check their status on the PG&E website.
