Sadly we passed this fairly soon after it happened. It was in the area where they've been working. We wondered if it was a CalTrans worker that had been hit. Condolencrs to family and friends.

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

Good grief! These frequent threats to cut off our power are a bit annoying. I guess I was right to gas up the portable generator and charge up all of the emergency back up devices today.

As of 8:06 p.m. on Sunday, August 30, 2026, SCE has indicated that it is likely to de-energize the primary transmission lines serving Big Bear Valley within the next four hours due to wind-driven fire conditions. These conditions are expected to continue through Tuesday morning, September 1.

If the lines are de-energized, BVES will have very limited capacity, and some or all customers may experience an extended outage. Customers should prepare now and continue monitoring BVES communications for updates.
