ASPEN ACRES FIRE OUTAGE UPDATE:

The San Isabel Electric family has those who have been impacted by the fire in our thoughts and prayers.

We are working closely with incident command.

Fire-related outages could last through next week or longer. The equipment that feeds electricity to meters both inside and outside of the evacuation zones has been impacted by the fire.

After getting authorization from incident command, the first step to restore power is assessing damage and making repairs. Then, we will energize lines as quickly as possible, following all safety protocols.

Updates will be posted on SIEA.com as more information becomes available.
