PG&E

Gusts topping 75 mph raked the San Francisco Bay Area, and relatively small fires broke out around the state amid a bout of dry, windy weather.

Governor Gavin Newsom is at the California State Operations Center and is providing an update into the Public Safety Power Shutdown.

The ongoing PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff continues to cause frustration for business owners and elected officials. As the windy weather begins to subside, many are asking when their power will be restored so they can get back on track.

A tweet sent by the city of Berkeley telling people with medical needs to "use your own resources" in the event of a power outage has sparked an online backlash.

Firefighters are at the scene of a three-alarm grass fire burning on San Bruno Mountain off of Guadalupe Canyon Parkway in Brisbane. As of 2:00 p.m., the fire is 5-acres and 100 percent contained.

PG&E said the delayed outages began in the East Bay, South Bay and Santa Cruz County just after 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night. The process is expected to continue through midnight. 

A PG&E worker was shot at Tuesday evening in Colusa County, according to California Highway Patrol. 

“If PG&E had spent the money we gave them on trimming the trees and maintaining the power lines safely, we wouldn’t be in this position,” said Mark Toney, the executive director of The Utility Reform Network or TURN.  

The planned PG&E power outage has everyone coming up with contingency plans, including Cal Fire. 

PG&E's ever delaying power outage in Contra Costa County has many business owners questioning whether to close or not to close.

With expected heavy winds in wine country, Sonoma businesses are making sure locals have everything they need. 

PG&E equipment may have ignited ten wildfires that broke out in 2019. The utility identified those fires in court filings stemming from the federal criminal case surrounding the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion. On Wednesday, the company filed its latest response detailing four of the ten wildfires.

Firefighters in Solano County are working to contain a grass fire that jumped Highway 12 near Highway 113, just west of Rio Vista.

A Red Flag warning has been issued for the Bay Area as high winds and low humidity are expected Wednesday into Thursday.

Survivors of the North Bay firestorm in 2017 say Wednesday's Red Flag threat and widespread power shutdown add another layer to their trauma.
