Extreme heat, elevated fire risk prompt power shutoffs in Northern California

The start of an extended, potentially dangerous heat wave Tuesday has coincided with elevated fire conditions across Northern California, prompting Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to initiate what appear to be the first planned power shutoffs of the year, expected to last at least through Wednesday.

“This is a prolonged heat event that will definitely bring serious concerns for heat-related illnesses if people don’t take proper precautions,' said Kate Forrest, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Sacramento. Forecasters are expecting this to be a potentially record-breaking heat event, with triple-digit temperatures lasting for several days and little overnight relief.
