We've implemented a 911 standard for all faults in high-fire-threat areas. Given the conditions this season and what we've learned from other fires, including the Dixie fire, we've taken additional actions to reduce wildfire risk during periods of no to low wind conditions. My coworker's effort that day reflects the tenacity and the professionalism of our team here at PG&E who come to work every day with one goal in mind: to serve our friends, our families and our neighbors, who also happen to be our customers.
We followed the steps of our coworker and were surprised by what was required to access the location of that tree on our lines.

Adam Wright, our Chief Operating Officer, and I went to the fire to ensure that we were providing our full support to our community and our team. We've filed a time line with Judge Alsup if you'd like more details. He called for help and attempted to stop the fire. He noticed a fire at the base of the tree.
The conductor was still attached to the pole and two fuses were open. After substantial effort, he arrived on scene and found a tree leaning into our lines. When the power plant personnel could not diagnose the problem, a line worker was dispatched to troubleshoot the outage. As we've disclosed, the morning of July 13, the power went out at our Cresta Dam powerhouse. There have been no reported injuries or fatalities, thank goodness. As of this morning, the Dixie fire has burned 221,000 acres and has impacted about 60 structures. Forest Service for the challenging work that they are doing in fighting the fires. I'd like to thank both our crews who are working to make the area safe and CAL FIRE and the U.S. My heart goes out to the impacted communities, our customers and my coworkers who've been affected by this and other fires. The Dixie fire started on July 13 and is now 23% contained. The wildfire season is underway early this year. I have a feeling I know what's on top of mind for you because I know it is for me. We'll take a deeper dive into how we're implementing our PG&E lean operating system across the company with a special focus on our wildfire prevention work, and you'll also get a glimpse into the future opportunities for our company. You'll get to meet the team we've assembled to lead the transformation of PG&E.
