Dec 3, 20201:14Now PlayingA wildfire is burning in Orange County, California, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles near the same area as an October fire, which forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate.
The so-called Bond Fire broke out as Southern California utilities cut the power to tens of thousands of customers to avoid the threat of wildfires during the notorious Santa Anas.
Red flag warnings of extreme fire danger through Saturday were in place because of low humidity, bone-dry brush and the winds, which sweep down from the interior, the National Weather Service said.
Utilities in the populous region began cutting power Wednesday to customers as a precaution to prevent gusts from blowing tree limbs into electrical equipment or knocking down power lines, which have sparked devastating wildfires in recent years.
Southern California Edison cut power to about 15,000 homes and businesses by late Wednesday night and was considering de-energizing lines serving about 271,000 customers in seven counties throughout the windy period, which could last into Saturday.
It was one of the utility's largest precautionary blackouts.
