[QUOTE="SnowCal, post: 65002958, member: 300913"] That's a concern. First responders in general are not reliant on public utilities. They use them but they can work with backups as simple as AA batteries. If terrorists wanted to cause a fire siege in SoCal they might try to hurt the power grid at the same time. The unavailability of TV news could increase panic. A more relevant but technical detail is that water pumps will be inoperable. In most locations this isn't an issue as water towers will continue to supply. But that supply is limited. Firefighting tactics in California advise very limited water use in these situations because of that, but loss of utility water pumps would cause issues. [/QUOTE]
