I just got a text that says it will be 4-6 hours. That's like 2:00 AM

Polar Orbit, that's good advice. 😆

If it’s a tree wire, wouldn’t you just cut off power to that street?

Remember to turn off the bedroom lights so it doesn't wake you up when the power comes back on at midnight.

Any idea when power back on?

USFS is also responding to that incident on Sugarloaf Blvd as a Smoke Check. Big Bear Fire is responding as an FSL.

FSL = Structure Fire Low level response

Tree wire meaning someone has an incoming service attached to a tree? I’ve definitely seen those but it wouldn’t cause valley wide outage

How do Palm Springs, Vegas & the High Desert prevent overheating their wires?

What is “FSL”?

Yeah. What the heck is a Tree wire?

I'm hoping its just a typo but anyone else concerned about the terminology 'tree wire'? Nothing about that says warm and cozy, 🤔

Thank you SCM alert

It appears that it was caused by an over heated insulator and the line was sparking so they shut the line down and are on site replacing the damaged line

I made microwave popcorn just before it died, good I hadn't starting shaving my beard off.
That happened once before, half done!
