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

Thank you for your timely reporting. I have family camping in the area, and heard about a fire. I was panicked at first, because there is no way to reach them-no cell service. This was the only source of info that I could find.
