RAMONA – San Diego Gas & Electric has completed the Ramona microgrid, one of four planned microgrids within a high fire threat district in the county’s backcountry, it was announced Monday.
“It gives us peace of mind to have backup power for a critical facility like the Ramona Air Attack Base, especially given the fact that fire season in California has become year-round,” said CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire Chief Tony Mecham. The Ramona grid was built in collaboration with CAL FIRE and the Forest Service with the intent of keeping essential resources powered during Public Safety Power Shutoffs and other emergency situations.
CAL FIRE staffs the Ramona Air Attack Base year-round with one OV-10A Bronco tactical aircraft and two S-2T airtankers. The aircraft support wildland fire suppression locally and can be requested to assist with fires throughout California. Additionally, the base houses the U.S. Forest Service’s Bell 205 A++ helicopter and crew, which serves the Cleveland National Forest and can also be mobilized to help throughout the State of California.
