Jackson & Mokelumne Hill, CA…PG&E continues to respond to outages affecting approximately 15,000 customers in parts of Amador and Calaveras Counties. PG&E has deenergized several distribution lines for firefighter safety in the area at the request of Cal Fire crews battling the Electra fire.

PG&E has a number of assets potentially at risk due to the fire. We are currently working with Cal Fire to gain access to impacted areas to make assessments. PG&E also has five Safety and Infrastructure Protection (SIPT) engines working to treat assets that could be impacted by the fire.

Last night Amador County officials helped civilians who were sheltering at the PG&E hydroelectric powerhouse to safely depart from the facility.
