A huge swath of Northern California is bracing for potential widespread blackouts this weekend as a Red Flag Warning fuels fears of fast-moving wildfires and PG&E prepares emergency power shutoffs that could impact thousands of residents. Officials say the region is facing a volatile mix of strong winds, extremely dry air and brittle vegetation, creating conditions where even a single spark could ignite a major wildfire and spread rapidly. PG&E said a possible Public Safety Power Shutoff could affect about 7,382 customers across 15 counties, including Alameda, Colusa, Contra Costa, Fresno, Glenn, Lake, Merced, Napa, San Benito, San Joaquin, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama and Yolo counties, raising the prospect of widespread disruption across multiple communities at once.
