PG&E announced that they will be conducting aerial patrols along electric distribution lines in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.
The patrols are a part of PG&E’s “efforts to keep customers safe by reducing wildfire risks.” Linemen will be inspecting assets to look for anything that is out of the ordinary and may pose a risk.
The patrols will be conducted starting Wednesday, March 6th through Friday, March 8th. Community members may notice low flying helicopters, including in areas where livestock are present.
PG&E said they may send ground crews to conduct further inspections if deemed necessary.
