People will be able to bring in their cell phones, laptops, plug in their oxygen concentrators, or portable dialysis machines or whatever they may need electricity for during the blackouts.

Pollock Pines Fire Safe Council

A fire can start anywhere in our community and for any reason, some set on purpose, by accident and a by force of nature. In Pollock Pines we have the American River canyon that poses a very large threat to our community if a fire were to start. The potential winds that could come up through the canyon with a fire could possibly reach Pony Express within hours.
