FortisBC’s power cut plan for wildfires triggers fear and uncertainty in Princeton

FortisBC's new Public Safety Power Shutoff initiative in Princeton, British Columbia, aims to prevent wildfires by cutting electricity during extreme weather. However, Mayor Spencer Coyne expresses concern over the plan's potential impact on vulnerable residents and the community's ability to handle outages, especially after recent disasters. Local officials urge better communication and coordination from FortisBC.
