PG&E is warning that up to 28,000 customers across several counties may need to have their power shut off for safety reasons starting Thursday because of dry and windy weather conditions that pose a risk of sparking and spreading wildfires.

PG&E says they've reduced the number of counties that could see power shutoffs in the coming days as critical fire danger weather moves into Northern and Central California.

With an elevated fire risk warning taking effect across Northern California starting this Thursday, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has announced that public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) are likely for dozens of California counties.
