PG&E

PG&E will extend earlier Oct. 21 fire claims deadline for harm suffered in 2017 and 2018 wildfires

"This situation has been devastating for many people across California. Many are without power and homes have been destroyed by these fires," Khanna said in a statement from his office in Washington, D.C.

The outage was especially tough for the elderly living at Bennett House on Taylor Drive in Fairfax. 

Although she has been through a lot in her life, this dayslong blackout since Saturday has been especially difficult. "It's been hard mentally," Phyllis Gould said. "I just broke down yesterday. I couldn't stop crying." 

PG&E early Wednesday morning canceled planned power shutoffs for customers in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Tuesday, that Pacific Gas and Electric will begin the process of crediting customers who experienced service disruptions during its planned shutoff events. 

A website based in Boulder Creek ironically had to power up the old-fashioned way because of the latest round of PG&E planned power shutoffs.

Along the Bay Area coast, one community is hoping a scheduled PG&E power shutoff Tuesday night won't impact its economic livelihood as the previous two events have.

The power is on in San Francisco, which has some from Marin County impacted by the shutoffs looking for gasoline and things to do.

A sweet story out of Pleasant Hill of strangers helping each other out during trying times.

Frustration and anger mounted across Northern California as the state’s biggest utility began another round of fire-prevention blackouts Tuesday that could leave millions of people without electricity, some for five days or longer.

Before electricity was restored to residents impacted by Saturday's shutoff, Pacific Gas and Electric warned that it would again cut power on Tuesday to customers in the Bay Area and parts of Northern California ahead of another severe wind event. 

In the wake of a series of Public Safety Power Shutoffs taking place throughout Sonoma County due to the Kincade Fire, the California Public Utilities Commission on Monday announced it would be launching an investigation into the shutoffs.

Pacific Gas and Electric confirmed Monday evening that it's moving forward with another round of power shutoffs that could impact anywhere from 240,000 to more than 600,000 customers. Another major wind event is expected to blow through the area beginning Tuesday before noon and should taper off midday Wednesday. 

PG&E confirmed Monday that its equipment may have been responsible for two more fires that broke out in the Bay Area during its Public Safety Power Shutoff over the weekend.

There was more progress on the Kincade Fire Monday, but the upcoming wind event presents a serious complication. In addition, a new evacuation warning was issued Monday evening for parts of Lake County. 

Hundreds of thousands of PG&E customers will again lose power on Tuesday and Wednesday during the utility's third public safety power shutdown.
