This question is a follow-up to LAST time I called with a 90 minute wait and the representative told me they needed to call me back the next day after doing research. It's been over a week since I was last told that. @SCE

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

Is a 3 hour waiting time for a billing question normal @SCE? What other alternatives to do I have to speak to someone about an error?

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

This all happening 1 year after #Borderline. Just as we begin to heal another traumatic event? My heart cries for #VenturaCounty 😢

Simi Valley: SVPD is investigating a possible bomb inside a residence on Fairfield Road. SVPD K9 and VCSO Bomb Squad have been requested.

Spread the news! Charging station (!), food & water!

This is infuriating. Aren't drone operators supposed to be licensed? I am sure this topic would be covered during training?

#MariaFire (Ventura Co) - Helicopter operations shut down again due to the 2nd drone spotting which was near the Santa Paula airport dip site.

@CC_StormWatch We are close enough to see it and to smell the smoke if my windows are open but not close enough to worry about evacuations at this point. 🙏🏼

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

Driving on 101 near Hampshire Rd. and the car in front of us throws their cigarette butt out the window. Saw multiple embers bounce off the asphalt. SERIOUSLY?! The ignorance is unacceptable. #EasyFire #MariaFire #DoBetter

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

@CC_StormWatch I wish I had thought to take note of their license plate! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

@JulieAWaters We could literally see the #MariaFire glowing in the distance!! Seems as though common sense isn't so common... 🙄

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

Feels good to feel like things are starting to come back to "normal" 😌 #EasyFire

[VCFD PIO @VCFD_PIO]

#EasyFire FF’s and law enforcement officers are working hard to get everything back open. @VCFD @CountyVentura

[VCscanner @VCscanner]

#EasyFire: All air tankers off the fire for the night. Only 2 copters left to drop before they depart as well. May order Air Attack 51 for night observations later tonight. Fire is looking okay right now but that can change at any time given the weather conditions.

So cool to watch this heavy lift “Skycrane” helicopter in action as it sucks up water and douses the flames. These things can hold around 2,650 gallons and can fill up with its draft hose in less than a minute! #EasyFire

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

I'm in shock that we are at 0% contained... thankful for all the responders, broadcasters, & citizens for rising to the situation to help our community. Looks like a hard night ahead of us. Hoping we can start to tackle this thing 👊🙏 #EasyFire

[KTLA @KTLA]

@SCE The #EasyFire now covers about 1,650 acres and is 0% contained, officials say. Sky5 is overhead: https://t.co/CE4gQUcBwh

Simi Valley folks - Smart & Final is open in case you are in need of getting emergency supplies. Huge help since most establishments are closed due to lack of staff or no power. #EasyFire

@xoMelissaRenee It is off of an exit named "Yosemite Ave." in the city of Simi Valley.

[Melissa Benhoff @MelissaBenhoff]

I am experiencing this with my daughters. My 4.5 year old vividly recalled our evacuation experience during the Woolsey Fire & instantly became anxious as we watched dark grey smoke hover nearby. 😢 So sad this is becoming her normal. #EasyFire
