PG&E statement:

PG&E continues to monitor the devastating wildfires in Southern California and the company is sending crews, equipment and to aid agencies and utilities in the area.

PG&E dispatched two Blackhawk helicopters to Los Angeles to support CalFire’s firefighting efforts. Those helicopters arrived Wed. afternoon.

We also mobilized 25 Safety and Infrastructure Protection Team (SIPT) crews to Southern California to provide mutual assistance at the request of the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Those crews will assist LADWP with electric and water asset protection by applying fire retardant on poles and other equipment, checking fire-damaged utility equipment and making the area safe for LADWP crews to restore power.  Some electric distribution crews also will be traveling to Southern California to help with restoration.
