FRAZIER PARK, CA (Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2020 at 3:59 p.m.)— Southern California Edison responded to The Mountain Enterprise with the following statement after we asked them about the conflicting and confusing information put out through alerts: “The scheduled outages today and tomorrow have been canceled due to the strong wind event that may cause Public Safety Power Shutoffs in high fire risk areas across our service territory. Since the weather conditions are continually changing, the decision was made last night to cancel these outages and the notification system wasn’t updated in time to notify customers. We apologize for this inconvenience and will continue to review our notification process to make improvements to reduce the likelihood of this occurring again.”
