Live wires on scene. High voltage power line down.
PG & E is assessing the scene. Red Lion Hotel is one of the businesses affected. Ironically, firefighters and a conference for National Incident Team is happening at the Red Lion now. PG & E crews going business to business.
Power back at Red Lion 4:12 p.m.
Humboldt Bay Fire PIO Amy Conlin responded to my inquiry. At 15:48, HBF received a report of a power line down on 3rd St. "Power Line on Roadway and line is on fire.”
"Truck 8181 responded to the downed line and shut down 3rd Street from W to Y and requested PG&E to the scene. EPD was requested for crowd control. PG&E arrived and secured the line and HBF was released."
EPD Crime Analyst Brittany Powell confirmed the same information.
At 5:10 p.m. 68 customers still without power. This information was from First District Supervisor Rex Bohn.
Could not reach anyone at PG & E and got a recorded message at the 24/7 media hotline.
