Red Flag Fire Warning Through Wednesday

The National Weather Service has declared a Red Flag Fire Warning for San Diego County, including the City of Vista, effective through Wednesday of this week. The warning signals an elevated risk of wildfires due to strong winds and low humidity levels.

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has notified the City of Vista that power shutoffs may be implemented in the North County Coastal areas, including locations with underground utilities served by transmission lines. Residents are urged to stay informed about potential outages and restoration updates by visiting SDG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) dashboard at www.sdge.com/psps-dashboard.

The City of Vista encourages residents to use this time to review and enhance their wildfire preparedness plans. Comprehensive tips and resources for wildfire safety, including evacuation planning and emergency kit checklists, are available at vista.gov/wildfires.

Stay vigilant, stay safe, and ensure you’re prepared for the potential impacts of the Red Flag conditions.
