Melanie woodrow joins us with more on this. Dion and dan, the documents were just filed with the California PublicUtilities Corporation today. They outlined how the two fires that happened in lafayette could be tied again to pg power lines. The fires started blocks from where power had been turned off. Flames threaten homes and destroy the Lafayette Tennis Club when a grassfire roared through dry brush found by high wind. It sent smoke over highway 24. Pg e reported to the cpuc that there were two incidents regarding the energized power lines yesterday. One was at Pleasant Hill where pg e reported a lashing wire and open wire as a potential ignition source. The other in lafayette attica minnow el diablo road. They found this downed power pole and transformer. You can see what it looked like in april of this year. Trees were close to power lines. The exact scenario pg e has been concerned about. The reason, it says, it is cutting power to millions of customers when high winds pick up. Now there are questions as to why the two lines that may have been involved in yesterdays fires were energized at all. Take a look at this pg e planned Public Safety outage map from yesterday. That orange color is where power was shut off. But this is where the fire started. This is where the condit road fire started. Both outside the outage zone. Raising more questions about the effectiveness and the about the planned outage. Reporter were hoping to get more information about that today. The press conference started about 10 to 15 minutes later than it happened. Were hoping for more information. In the meantime, the customers who had the power shut off in the most recent shutoff. 39 have had their power restored. Live in San Francisco, melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. Melanie, thank you.
