PG&E is conducting this important safety work across both high and extreme fire-threat areas across our service territory. These areas are defined as at elevated (Tier 2) and extreme (Tier 3) risk of wildfire, based on the California Public Utilities Commission’s High Fire-Threat District Map.
We are working safely and as quickly as possible to complete this important safety work, prioritizing those communities that are at the most extreme risk of wildfire. We will then expand our work to other high fire-threat areas across our service territory. This work will cover roughly 25,000 miles of distribution line from Bakersfield to the Oregon border.
The timing for work in a community will depend on the wildfire risk in that area, what specific work needs to be done, and conversations with customers regarding plans for their property, among other factors.
For more information on our Enhanced Vegetation Management work, customers can email us at wildfiresafety@pge.com or call 1-877-295-4949. Our dedicated customer outreach specialists will respond within one business day.
