California's three largest utility companies are mounting plans for power shutoffs due to forecasted dangerously strong winds that elevate wildfire risks across the state.
Last month's Mountain fire in Ventura County, fueled by similar Santa Ana winds, serves as a stark reminder of the destructiveness that can arise from such conditions.
Southern California Edison is contemplating outages affecting over 250,000 customers in areas like Ventura and Los Angeles, amid warnings of significant wildfire threats.
With a 'Particularly Dangerous Situation' in effect, utilities are prioritizing public safety by potentially shutting off power for hundreds of thousands amidst heightened wildfire risks.
