California's grid manager extends Flex Alert for a third straight day. Heat wave blanketing the state expected to linger through Labor Day.

As a heat wave continues to grip the Southland and drive up air-conditioner use, a Flex Alert calling for voluntary power conservation to reduce strain on the state's electric grid will be in effect for a third straight day Friday.

The California Independent Systems Operator (ISO) has issued a flex alert for a third-straight day on Friday.

A Flex Alert is issued when California Independent System Operator expects the power grid to be stressed from high electricity demand.

Lawmakers in California voted to extend the operations of the state's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant as the state's energy grid operator called for conservation.

Millions of Californians are urged to reduce electricity use between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday.

The California Independent System Operator issued its third consecutive daily Flex Alert on Sept. 2 amid soaring temperatures and increasing electricity demands. 

The brush fire started burning Wednesday in Los Angeles County near the Interstate-5 freeway.
