CAMP FIRE
UTILITY COMPANIES WORKING TO RESTORE ESSENTIAL SERVICES
We continue to appreciate the patience and support of the Butte County community as we work
to make the fire area safe for re-entry. There are thousands of firefighters, law enforcement
officers, and other cooperators operating around the clock to complete this necessary work.
The companies that provide utility services to the areas impacted by the fire (such as AT&T,
Comcast, PG&E) are an integral part of the work that is being done. Their crews are working in
coordination with CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 4, alongside emergency responders, to
remove hazardous trees, weakened utility poles, damaged wire, cable and piping. This work is
necessary to restore essential utility services, and interfering with their work can create
unnecessary and frustrating delays for the incident and members of the public that are anxious
to return to the affected areas.
Our utility partners play a critical role in making the area safe. We ask the public to extend them
the same courtesy and support that has been provided to the firefighters, law enforcement
officers, and other emergency responders working to stabilize the incident.
We are working around the clock to make the area safe for re-entry and appreciate the Butte
County community's continued cooperation and support.
SAFETY MESSAGE - The public is reminded to stay vigilant on current fire conditions. Please
continue to adhere to road closures and evacuation orders. Please drive slowly and yield to
emergency personnel in the area. As you re-enter your property, be aware hazardous conditions
may still exist.
