While partially true, Nancy, the line that feeds power to the Big Bear Valley was experiencing 50-60 mph wind gusts, so there was an elevated fire risk in the high desert. Should any new fires become established, it could very well threaten the Big Bear Valley.

It was a proactive call, so SCE doesn't get blamed for starting another fire. Then of course everyone is sue happy, which in turn increases our rates again. Every time a community sues SCE, our rates go up. People don't understand they're suing themselves.

Just a new precautionary measure to try and protect lives & property. While it is very inconvenient, it's potentially better than the alternative.

What concerns me is that SCE, who is not in our area and does not know whether we have WIND or NOT is controlling our electricity! Clearly a warning of what "socialism" is. We need to be independent of outside controlling entities here in Big Bear. Our weather is unique to CA. Who is the best to handle those decision? LOCALS ONLY, NO ONE ELSE.

SCE PSPS has Concluded
Big Bear Lake, CA – Bear Valley Electric Service (BVES) is informing customers that Southern California Edison (SCE) has restored power from the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) that affected BVES supply lines. Electric service has now been fully restored to all Bear Valley Electric Service customers. Following the successful completion of system inspections, Southern California Edison PSPS warning period has concluded.

Still not at my place. I had no power from 8pm Friday until 2pm Saturday. Now I'm off again.

power seems to be back in most places...

Power out just now moonridge

Good for us to remember that SCE is the one who cuts power to us- not BVES. I have no love for BVES but they really get no say in which of the lines that bring power up the mtn get de-energized. They get stuck with the complaints. BVES did spend money installing new non- sparking equipment. SCE has chosen not to and instead we get PSPS. Contact CPUC to complain about that and BVES' outrageous rates?

Alright so good to know that 12 am Sunday cutoff was a bunch of bs. Anyone else tired of companies like this doing whatever they want because it's suits them?

Good morning, all. Would SCM Alerts please tell me how I can get the notices for “Imminent Southern California Edison Public Safety Power Shutoff"? (posted by SCM ALERTS Saturday 27 June 2026 - 19:22:39). I have tried to work with the SCE website by viewing the Doble circuit but can't figure out how to get the notices and BVE does NOT send these particular notices. This is VERY important. And, I am furious about losing hundreds of $ in food (I cannot have a generator). How does BVE justify selling power they do not own and cannot provide?

Let’s look at the bright side. The sky is sparkling blue this morning and we have made it through another day to find something else to [censored] about!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I will enjoy a beautiful hike with my husband and later head to Murrays for an adult beverage. It doesn’t get any better than that. Glad to be above ground another year 😂

Power is on again here near Paradise, South of the Blvd, Bear City.

(autocorrect changed my words "so hopefully" to "someday")

Fairly strong southwest wind -- enough to create white caps out on the lake this morning. Will this subside soon, someday avert another PSPS? I can't obtain a full forecast because the National Weather Service website isn't functioning (as of 7:25 am, anyway).

XLNT Point, Trua! Next to me is a rental seldom used, and the owners are in Germany on a military overseas assignment.
