SAN FRANCISCO—Gusty winds and low humidity brought high risk of wildfires to the interior of Northern California on Aug. 30 and a utility proactively cut electricity to approximately 8,400 customers to prevent potential ignitions in the blustery conditions.
Red flag warnings for critical fire danger were to remain in effect until 8 p.m. in much of the Sacramento Valley and adjacent areas to the west, the National Weather Service said.
