Cal Fire says the Coal Fire burning in Shasta County is 100 percent contained. The 240 acre blaze burned through Shasta County near Gilman Road Friday afternoon into Saturday night. PG&E says about 150 residents in Lakeview Estates are without power due to burned transmittion lines, and power will not likely be restored until mid-week. According to the company, "PG&E’s top priority is ensuring the safety of our customers, firefighters, our crews and the public, and at the same time working to restore these customers as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, PG&E offers these tips to help customers be prepared and stay safe: Treat all downed power lines as if they are “live” or energized. Keep yourself and others away from them. Call 911, and then notify PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. Have the following items on hand: a battery-powered radio, flashlights, a first-aid kit, a supply of food or snacks that does not require cooking, and extra water. Have battery-operated flashlights and radios with fresh batteries ready. If you have a telephone that requires electricity to work such as a mobile phone, plan for alternate communication."
