California is grappling with devastating wildfires that have left nearly 4 million residents without power across Southern California. As the situation worsens, numerous utilities, including Edison International, have implemented widespread power shutoffs to mitigate fire risks. Areas affected include Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura County, where hundreds of thousands remain without electricity. The wildfires have prompted not only emergency shutdowns but also increased scrutiny over the safety of power lines, as multiple reports indicate potential links between utility infrastructure and fire outbreaks. Currently, local officials are urging residents to prepare for possible extended outages, as conditions are expected to remain hazardous in the upcoming days.
