Was it a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. Lane Electric has not declared a PSPS for either the Bedrock or Lookout fires. The cooperative is operating in wildfire settings (high sensitivity) which means outages are more likely to occur than in normal operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did I lose power?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When equipment is set to high sensitivity outages are more likely to occur. It is also possible that the wildland firefighters or other emergency responders requested an outage to safely complete their work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When will my power be restored?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When outages are reported Lane Electric dispatches a serviceman or crew to respond. Crews must patrol all equipment and lines before re-energizing, making restoration times longer than normal. Please know we&#8217;re working as quickly and safely as we can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will you tell me if I need to evacuate?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. We will alert you of power outages.
