More than 18 million people in southern California are under red flag warnings for extreme fire conditions. In addition to the warnings, many Californians have had to deal with power outages as many utility companies have shut off power to avoid the fire risks caused by downed power lines.

南加州有超过1800万人处于极端火灾危险状态。除了警告，许多加州人不得不应对停电，因为许多公用事业公司已经切断电源，以避免电线倒塌引起的火灾风险。

For example, as of Friday morning, there were 13,009 Southern California Edison (SCE) customers under a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), while 132,697 are under consideration, according to the utility company’s website.
