There’s no wind in my area and the fire is traveling north up the canyon. We received a bogus voicemail from pge giving three reasons why they could not work to restore power. One was they can’t work in the smoke. The other was fire danger which is no longer a threat. And the other one said first responders requested they didn’t work to restore power which I didn’t understand. WTF! There’s not a good reason for the power in my area to still be off. We are sharing our daughters generator and it has to be packed back and forth. It’s BS!
