Wildfire season is now year round here in California.
"With years of extreme drought, with millions of dead trees in California, this is a new normal for us," said Suzanne Hosn, a spokesperson for PG&E.
For companies like PG&E, that means actively reducing fire dangers when they can.
"In cases where there's extreme winds and low humidity, we want to reduce the likelihood that vegetation or lines striking one another could be a source of ignition," Hosn explained.
Now PG&E has set up a new policy in addition to that - they may turn off the power in areas of extreme fire danger.
"It's important for us all to be very aware of wildfire risk. PG&E will try to give as much notice as possible; turning off the power is our last resort for public safety," Hosn said.
