ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
 
Be mindful of people working in the area as essential services are restored. Stay vigilant as you drive into areas that have been impacted by the fire as road crews, firefighters, and other personnel are focused on completing their assignments. As traffic flow is introduced into these areas, people may be more focused on the damage and not aware of their immediate surroundings. Stay alert and pay attention.
 
As natural gas service is restored to areas that have been deemed safe, assessments and necessary repairs are underway. For safety reasons, customers should never attempt to restore natural gas service themselves.  If you have questions about the service restoration process or about your natural gas service, contact SoCalGas at 1-877-238-0092 or online at https://www.socalgas.com/newsroom/fires

As the area is repopulated, be aware that there may be intermittent power outages and associated street closures as power is restored throughout the impacted areas. For more information about current power outages, check online at https://www.sce.com/outage-center
