Last night, during the Red Flag Warning, JCSO deputies assisted Elk Creek Fire Department with a structure fire on Pleasant Park Road. Our deputies helped move hoses and used fire extinguishers and tools to put out hot spots. Strong winds can turn a small spark into a fast-moving fire. Please stay safe, follow current fire restrictions, and check on your neighbors. #cowx #cofire Elk Creek Fire

We are preparing for critical fire weather and elevated wildfire risk in Colorado on Monday. Evolving weather forecasts from Sunday for Monday include very high winds, low humidity and dry vegetation. As a public safety measure to prevent wildfires, we are evaluating the potential need to proactively turn off power for customers in Adams, Boulder, Jefferson and eastern Denver counties, starting on Monday, Oct. 20, at around 11 a.m. Temporarily shutting off power – known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) – is not a step taken lightly and is only used when other methods are not enough to help prevent wildfires. To learn more about the evolving situation and how to prepare for an outage, visit

We continue to plan for a likely Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) beginning on March 14th around 2 p.m., impacting around 18,000 customers in Boulder and Jefferson counties. Weather conditions are expected to start improving between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on March 14, though high winds that may create wildfire risk and cause outages are expected to continue through the weekend. Please note, due to anticipated high winds, outages could take place outside of areas impacted by a PSPS, impacting restoration times. Restoring outages from a significant weather event or PSPS may take several hours to several days. This is because crews must inspect power lines and repair damage before they can be safely re-energized. Prepare for potential outages now, especially if you use medical equipment that requires electricity. To learn more about the evolving situation, visit

New Jersey is facing an unusually dry spell, bringing with it a high risk of wildfires. As a result, the highest level of fire restriction is in effect statewide. This means no outdoor fires—including backyard fire pits, bonfires, or fireworks. Please stay fire-safe and help protect our communities and natural areas. Together, we can reduce wildfire risks during these dry conditions. 🔥 #NJFireSafety #StaySafe New Jersey Forest Fire Service Shawn LaTourette

As best as you can, please avoid placing your solar panels on the roof of your house. This also goes for the rest of the equipment such as inverters and batteries. This is to reduce the risk of fire. Panels should be installed on the ground or on top of parking covers. The rest of the equipment’s can be installed in a dedicated space outside of the main living building. Despite the best intentions electronic safety equipment such as surge protectors and current breakers do fail either due to age in service, manufacturers defect or improper installation. So it’s best to situate them in a safe environment. Good luck. #DiyManiaNigeria
