Fairfax battered in weekend’s storm

February 8, 2024 by Marin Leave a Comment

Over the weekend, Fairfax experienced heavy rains and wind that caused power outages throughout Fairfax, and the rest of California. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) called this “one of the top three most damaging, single-day storms on record.”  

When PG&E notified the Town of potentially extended power outages, the town set up a charging station in the Police Department lobby and planned to open another charging station in the Pavilion, but power was restored around midnight this morning.

During the storm, the Ross Valley Fire Department responded to a total of 71 calls for service, with 33 of those calls occurring in Fairfax alone. Notably, 26 calls came in on Sunday, and an extraordinary 23 of those were received between 3:00 PM and 6:30 PM on that day.
