Eyewitnesses to The Holiday Farm Fire have reported that sparking power lines caused a fire that quickly went out of control, resulting in the burning of over 170,000 acres of land, the loss of 100’s of homes, and 1000’s of acres of timber.

Unfortunately, despite knowledge that the National Weather Service forecast an “extreme wind warning,” several utilities failed to prepare for the wind or take any action to prevent these fires.

As a result, it appears that these power lines sparked during the wind event, causing fires that contributed to the Holiday Farm Fire.
