Lake Forest Could See Power Shutoff Overnight Amid Santa Ana Wind

LAKE FOREST, CA —Southern California Edison is considering a Public Safety Power Shutoff of Lake Forest electrical lines due to fire weather conditions, Tuesday.

Southern California Edison, like other power providers across the state, watches for extreme fire conditions in areas of high fire danger. When a threat is perceived, they will stop the flow of power to certain areas. When it is safe to do so, once crews inspect power lines, they will restore power.

"SCE will pay for qualified spoilage claimsfor food and medicine to eligible customers," they say.

If the power gets shut off, it would be around 8 p.m., a spokesperson said. The city reported that affected areas could include:

18931 1/2 Saddleback Ranch, Lake Forest, 92630

28040 Glenn Ranch Road, Trabuco Canyon 92679
