California Concerns Grow About Potential Wildfires
Contra Costa Times (Walnut Creek, CA)
May 27 LAFAYETTE Wildfire season is here and with a drought making the fire risk especially high, a Lafayette city councilman is not happy with what one utility is doing to curb the risk.
A PG&E representative told the council that residents who want to report an outage or who have questions about service can call the utility and file a ticket, the term that the utility uses for logging a problem or complaint, for PG&E to follow up on.
The issue came up during a special council meeting on wildfires, when Councilwoman Gina Dawson noted that faulty PG&E equipment caused a major fire in Lafayette in 2019.
