AT 9:33 A.M.:Main St. (Hwy 49) through Sierra City is currently closed due to a structure fire at 204 Main Street. For safety purposes, PG&E was notified to cut power to the residence. Unfortunately the only way to do this remotely is to de-energize the entire line which is from Alleghany to Sierra City and communities in between which is the reason for the current outage.
Hwy 49/Main St. through Sierra City was open to 1-way traffic with an escort at 12:06 pm.
In addition to Sierra City VFD, Sierra County Fire (Sierraville & Calpine), Downieville VFD, Camptonville VFD, USFS Engine 31 out of Camptonville, and a County water truck responded along with Dep. Rust and CHP Kostik for traffic control. PG&E also responded for the power. Supervisor Huebner and Larry Breed from the Sierra Country Store also lent a hand. It was another excellent coordination of mutual response and only one minor injury due to smoke inhalation, according to Sgt. Michelle Anderson. - Photos by Sheriff Tim Standley
