Valentine’s Day was on Wednesday, February 14 which means that a lot of metallic balloons were sold. PG&E Spokesperson Mayra Tostado said that metallic balloons can cause power outages if they don’t have a weight attached to them and are let off into the air. Tostado stated that metallic balloons are conductors of electricity that pose a threat to power lines if they're released into the air. Tostado advises people to have a weight attached to their metallic balloon so that the balloon doesn't float away and possibly cause a power outage. In PG&E's service area throughout Northern and Central California, 456 power outages occurred because of metallic balloons in 2017 and many of those outages took place on the Central Coast. Tostado indicated that whoever sells you a balloon by law must have a weight attached to it and added that if you ever come across balloons that are tangled in power lines, don’t touch them. Call 911 or contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 to report the problem.
