Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, and Forest Grove Light & Power warned that power shutoffs for thousands of customers that may be necessary this weekend due to danger from fires.

Hood Corridor/Foothills, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon City, Estacada, Scotts Mills, Portland West Hills, Tualatin Mountains, North West Hills, Central West Hills, Southern West Hills
The company warned that the shutoff could last several days. In 2020, when the Labor Day fires ravaged the state, PGE shutoff power to certain areas.
Forest Grove Light & Power also warned that they may shut off power “should the risk to our service territory increase.” A large portion of Oregon is in a red-flag warning, with windy, dry and hot conditions incoming, conditions which will likely expand fires already burning and could spark new fires.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
