MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – An event planned for this weekend will update south county residents on plans for potential power outages this summer.

The South Lake County Fire Protection District and Pacific Gas and Electric are hosting the community meeting from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 22, at Middletown Fire Station 60, 21095 Highway 175.

Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mike Wink said PG&E will offer an informational talk on plans for public safety power shutoffs should weather conditions and fire danger necessitate them.

Wink said afterward, community members can visit with vendors offering items like solar power equipment and generators.

“Everybody’s going to have to decide what is right for them,” Wink said.

For those who can’t make the presentation in person, Wink said the Hidden Valley Lake Association will stream the meeting through Facebook.
