I heard a loud bang around the corner from my home in lower Moonridge area then car alarms going off. People just will not slow down. Lots of emergency vehicles involved fire department and sheriff vehicles but yet people still keep flying around the corner like they are in a race.

BBNona, Trail Rider, and Van, Thank you so much for the kind birthday wishes! I had a perfect Big Bear day. The weather was heavenly, the scenery was breathtaking, and the drinks were yummy😊. Thoroughly enjoyed Murrays and ended the evening at Social by the fire pit with good music. Life doesn’t get much better. Grateful for the friends I’ve “met” on this platform. Now to start another trip around the sun😅

While partially true, Nancy, the line that feeds power to the Big Bear Valley was experiencing 50-60 mph wind gusts, so there was an elevated fire risk in the high desert. Should any new fires become established, it could very well threaten the Big Bear Valley.

It was a proactive call, so SCE doesn't get blamed for starting another fire. Then of course everyone is sue happy, which in turn increases our rates again. Every time a community sues SCE, our rates go up. People don't understand they're suing themselves.

Just a new precautionary measure to try and protect lives & property. While it is very inconvenient, it's potentially better than the alternative.
bullet Nancy~W on Sunday 28 June 2026 - 11:33:40
What concerns me is that SCE, who is not in our area and does not know whether we have WIND or NOT is controlling our electricity! Clearly a warning of what "socialism" is. We need to be independent of outside controlling entities here in Big Bear. Our weather is unique to CA. Who is the best to handle those decision? LOCALS ONLY, NO ONE ELSE.

SCE PSPS has Concluded

Following the successful completion of system inspections, Southern California Edison PSPS warning period has concluded.

Still not at my place. I had no power from 8pm Friday until 2pm Saturday. Now I'm off again.
