Hot weather coincides with extreme fire conditions across Northern California, prompting Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to initiate public safety power shutoffs across 8 counties.
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.
