Thankful for the preventive measures being taken by Xcel

I want to thank Xcel for taking safety measures to avoid a catastrophic fire in the foothills of Colorado. Although power outages are frustrating I would much rather deal with it than a fire. I know Xcel is receiving a lot of backlash right now, but you cant' hold them accountable for the Marshall fire and then blame them for trying to prevent another. I was contacted via text, email and phone to warn of the upcoming outage, so I had time to prepare. Maybe they could send out suggestions as to how to do that? Some update messages were conflicting. In the last three years I've seen Xcel trucks and contractors out replacing old power poles and doing what they can to provide energy safely. Underground lines would be nice, but I'm not sure we could afford the additional cost, and in the area I live in, I'm not sure how they would dig thru the bedrock to bury new lines. That said, I do NOT want to see any additional rate hikes from them.
