A Red Flag Warning has been issued for Eagle, Moffat, Rio Blanco, and Routt for Friday, June 12th from 1:00 pm - 9:00 pm. We will be putting our system into Fire Protection Mode during this time. Because the transmission line that feeds Baggs is in Moffat County, Baggs will also be in Fire Protection Mode. When we are in Fire Protection Mode, members may use their electricity as normal and will only experience a service interruption if there is an actual outage. If there is an outage, we ask members to prepare for longer than normal restoration time as we will need to inspect the entire line before re-energizing the line. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe out there.

A Red Flag Warning has been issued for June 10th for Moffat County from 10 am - 10 pm. Because of this, we will activate our system in Fire Protection Mode (FPM) on June 10th from 19 am - 10 pm. When we are in this more sensitive mode, members may use their electricity as normal. Unless there is an actual outage, they will not notice an interruption in service. If there is an outage during FPM, members can anticipate longer-duration outages as we will need to inspect the entire line to ensure it is free of trees and combustibles.

The hot, dry, and windy weather continues for Moffat County. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for June 8th and 9th for Moffat County from 10 am - 10 pm on both days. Wednesday is in a fire weather watch, so we are recommending our members be prepared for an additional Red Flag Warning on Wednesday. Because of this, we will activate our system in Fire Protection Mode (FPM) on June 6th and 7th during the times listed above. When we are in this more sensitive mode, members may use their electricity as normal. Unless there is an actual outage, they will not notice an interruption in service. If there is an outage during FPM, members can anticipate longer-duration outages as we will need to inspect the entire line to ensure it is free of trees and combustibles.
