San Francisco, CA...In an effort to help prevent wildfires and protect communities, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is joining forces with local Fire Safe Councils to enhance the safety and preparedness of local communities. PG&E is providing $2 million to fund local Fire Safe Council projects to reduce the threat of wildfires and help keep communities safe. "Years of drought, extreme heat and 129 million dead trees are creating a 'new normal' in our state and we must continue to adapt to these challenges. We appreciate our continuing partnership with local Fire Safe Councils to complete this important safety work. These projects create fuel breaks to protect communities, clear vegetation from evacuation routes, and help underserved customers create critical defensible space to protect their homes from fire," said Kevin Dasso, PG&E vice president of Electric Asset Management.

Extreme temperatures are likely, so we encourage you to be prepared for summer heat. These unseasonably hot temperatures increase the risk of fire as the ground begins to dry. Extreme temperatures can also lead to thunderstorms and lightning, which can ignite trees on the forest.
