PG&E Cuts Power To 24,000 Customers To Reduce Wildfire Risk

PG&E temporarily cut power to 24,000 customers in Northern California due to increased fire risk from dry and windy conditions. After the weather improved, PG&E planned to inspect power lines and restore power within 24 to 48 hours, advising customers to prepare for longer outages. PG&E's power lines have been linked to major wildfires, including the 2018 Camp Fire. The company recently settled for $11 billion over its role in these fires, following a previous $1 billion settlement with California cities and counties.
