What's Up In Stallion Springs

Pacific Gas & Electric held a First Responder Workshop for the Stallion Springs CERT team, presented by Jeff Kestly, Sr. Public Safety Specialist with PG&E. This training was specialized training for public safety first responders on how to safely respond and operate at natural gas and electrical emergencies.  

Mr. Kestly is one of eight Sr. Public Safety Specialists within PG&E's service territory that provide this type of training to fire, law enforcement, EMS, public works departments and CERT.  They have all worked previously in either fire or law enforcement and have done over 200 of these workshops for law enforcement (city, sheriff, and CHP) and fire agencies including Kern County Fire.

The state has issued a mandatory conservation order of 20 percent except where necessary to address health and safety issues. If you are observed in violation any of the mandatory conservation measures, a door hanger will be placed at your home to notify you of the violation. Multiple violations may lead to a fine of up to $500.
