PSE is warning customers they could turn off power in some communities during high-risk conditions. Officials said that in the event of extreme weather, they will be using a new Public Safety Power Shutoff tool to prevent power lines from igniting a flame.
"If we have critical fire weather approaching, we want to be able to strategically turn the power off ahead of that weather arriving for the safety of communities," said Ryan Murphy, the Director of Electric Operations for PSE.
