According to Grant PUD, Hubs 95, 229, and 230 are currently offline. A fire that had been mostly contained as of last night (06/21) re-ignited and jumped Highway 17\. At this time, PUD crews have no Estimated Time to Resolution (ETR) for any customers receiving service from those hubs. Once the fires are extinguished and conditions are safe for PUD crews, they will be dispatching to inspect fiber lines for damage and repairs. At that time, emergency maintenance will likely be needed to replace any damaged lines. .
