CV Captain Lists Safety Tips for Blackout

In a prepared statement issued Thursday night, Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station Capt. Dave Silversparre advised the community on how to drive when there are no working traffic signals, and other ways to stay safe during the power outage.

From Crescenta Valley Station Capt. Dave Silversparre:

in the jurisdiction, many traffic lights are out. Stop at all otherwise controlled intersections to ensure safety when crossing them.

Be safe if using candles for light; however, battery operated lighting devices would be better. Never use charcoal in a residence or structure for warmth, as this may be fatal.

Please report all suspicious person(s) and vehicles to the local law enforcement agency.

Southern California Edison is dilligently trying to restore power to the affected areas.

Once a powerline is removed from a downed tree on Chevy Chase and Stratford, La Canada Flintridge, it will be removed to allow passage.

I personally thank the many Crescenta Valley Station Reserve Deputies and Station Volunteers from our community who have assisted our dedicated staff in dealing with this wind related event.
