BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Southern California Edison and PG&E have alerted more than 13,000 of their customers that power may be shut off this week because of a potential for wildfires.

On Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a Fire Weather Watch for the Kern County mountains and a portion of the Sequoia National Forest beginning late Wednesday night through Friday evening.

The majority of potentially affected customers in Kern County are Southern California Edison customers. The utility says 13,268 customers in eastern Kern County — primarily in Tehachapi and the Kern River Valley — may be impacted if power needs to be shut off.

Seventy-five PG&E customers may have their power shut off in Arvin, Bakersfield and Lebec, officials said Tuesday night.

The utilities said they have notified customers if they are in areas affected by the potential shut offs.

No Kern County customers have had their power shut off as of 11 p.m. Tuesday.

At a press conference Tuesday evening, PG&E officials said their websites have been bolstered to handle traffic and are working.
