Fire crews battle flames near power lines and towers on San Bruno Mountain despite electricity being cut for 1.5 million people in California in bid to prevent blazes
- Wildfire broke out near power lines and towers along San Bruno Mountain, officials said Thursday afternoon
- Another fire erupted in Fontana in Southern California as strong Santa Ana winds continue to buffet region
- Earlier on Thursday, evacuations were ordered due to a wildfire in the hills of Sanders Ranch neighborhood
- California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says flames consumed about 60 acres in two hours
- So far, fire has not caused any injuries or damaged any structures; cause of fire remains under investigation
- The evacuations come just a day after power was cut in several parts of California for 1.5 million residents
- Pacific Gas and Electric cut power in areas to prevent deadly wildfires like the Camp Fire, which killed 86
- The Camp Fire was blamed on PG&E transmission lines and virtually incinerated the town of Paradise
- Cal Fire also warned California residents that fire danger this fall is predicted to be ‘extreme’ across the state
Firefighters are battling flames near power lines on San Bruno Mountain despite electricity being cut for 1.5 million people in California in a bid to prevent wildfires.
Video of the area shows a helicopter dumping water on flames near power lines and electricity towers on the mountain ridge.
It’s unclear if the electrical equipment near the blaze had been shut off. PG&E officials didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.
Earlier this week, the company announced that up to 2 million people may be affected by power outages in the next few days due to 70mph wind gusts. Cutting the power is PG&E’s attempt to prevent wildfires from breaking out.
Another fire erupted in Southern California as strong Santa Ana winds buffet the region.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department says the blaze broke out in Fontana Thursday afternoon.
Officials say one home is burning and others are threatened. The department says firefighters are trying to protect buildings, but the heavy winds are hampering their progress.
The Sheriff’s Department says evacuations are underway in the area, which is about 50 miles east of Los Angeles. It’s unclear how many people are evacuating.
Just before 1am Thursday morning, Moraga-Orinda officials ordered evacuations for a fast-moving fire in the hills near St Mary’s College.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) says the flames consumed about 60 acres in a little over two hours. Moraga police ordered evacuations in the town’s Sanders Ranch neighborhood and residents were told to take only essential items.
‘Due to the rapid spread of the fire on steep slopes near several homes, evacuations were ordered using the Community Warning System and an evacuation center established at St Monica’s Church,’ a statement from the Moraga-Orinda Fire District reads.
By 3.30am, firefighters had the fire at 60 per cent containment and by 11am, the fire was at 80 per cent containment. About 150 firefighters responded to the scene.
So far, the fire has not caused any injuries or damaged any structures. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The community in Contra Costa County is part of Pacific Gas and Electric’s (PG&E) ongoing pre-emptive electricity shutdowns.
Californians played a waiting game with the winds Thursday as PG&E watched the weather before deciding whether to restore power to an enormous portion of the state blacked out on purpose.
The state’s largest utility pulled the plug to prevent a repeat of the past two years when wind-blown power lines sparked deadly wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes.
Ahead of the outages, announced earlier this week, Californians rushed to stock up on flashlights, batteries, bottled water, ice and coolers, took money out of ATMs and filled their gas tanks. …..more here
