The fire comes as forecasters have issued red flag warnings across Northern California.
SAN FRANCISCO — A fast-moving brush fire has prompted an evacuation of an Oakland neighborhood and damaged at least four structures.
The utility began cutting power Thursday to customers in 12 counties, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, Solano and Sonoma in the Bay Area, and some customers farther north in Colusa, Glenn, Tehama and Shasta counties, PG&E said. “This could end up being the most significant wind event for this year so far,” said meteorologist Brayden Murdock with the service’s Bay Area office. “We want to tell people to be cautious.”
Winds around greater Los Angeles won’t be as powerful as up north, with gusts between 25 and 40 mph possible in mountains and foothills, said Mike Wofford, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Los Angeles-area office.
