The state of California has extended a Flex Alert to Saturday evening including in Santa Clarita, due to threatened transmission lines from a growing wildfire in southern Oregon.
Transmission lines used to import energy to California are being threatened by the wildfire in Oregon, as well as the extreme heat putting stress on electrical grids throughout the state.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) is encouraging residents to conserve energy by adhering to the Flex Alert guidelines.
These include setting the thermostat at 78 degrees or higher, avoiding using major appliances, turning off unnecessary lights, using fans for cooling and unplugging unused items.
