There is a major fiber line running along hiway 44 and the fire is approaching within the next 1-12 hours. When this line is damaged communications in the Susanville, Westwood, Chester, Greenville, Crescent Mills will be impacted. Cell, 911, Internet may be slow or completely offline depending on your carrier. Fire cameras should not be impacted. This will be the same type of outage as occurred on the Hog fire last year.
