Training and teamwork help save a life. Recently, Traffic Control Utility Worker Sebastian Valdez was working on a job site in #SanFrancisco. He noticed a male pedestrian walking nearby who appeared to be catching his breath and resting against a nearby fence then suddenly fell to the ground. Sebastian quickly ran over and asked if he could assist, but the pedestrian could not speak and appeared to be choking. Sebastian dialed 911 and called over to the line crew for help. Relying on the training, the team sprang into action and determined he had no pulse. With the 911 dispatcher on the phone guiding them through the key steps, they provided potentially life-saving resuscitation through #CPR chest compressions and with the use of an AED before the paramedics arrived. PG&E provides annual first-aid CPR and AED training. Thanks to Mark Terron (Electric Crew Lead), Adolfo Guerrero Jr. (Line Worker), Zayne DeLay (Line Worker), Brandon Greco (Apprentice Line Worker), Erik Wassmer-Ponce (Apprentice Line Worker) for their quick action. #training #safetyfirst #savinglives

PG&E team members Denny Boyles, Laura Garcia and Freddie Dominguez headed to Washington, D.C., as part of a company-sponsored effort to recognize the service of local veterans through the Central Valley Honor Flight. The PG&E team members served as Veterans Guardian on the flight, toured the U.S. Capitol Building with local Congressional staff members, visited memorials including the #VietnamVeteransMemorial, the #KoreanWarMemorial and the World War II Memorial, and experienced a Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the #TomboftheUnknownSoldier at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery. “I enjoy paying respect for the men and women who have served and fought before me and paved the way for my generation. Although they fought in a different time and different war, the situations are often relatable. Maybe I can give them some comfort in speaking about their experience as a way to heal from trauma, or lives lost,” said Freddie Dominguez, a Senior Customer Relationship Manager in Fresno. Freddie said that as a Marine combat veteran, helping on an #HonorFlight was a “bucket list” goal. Central Valley Honor Flight is part of the nationwide Honor Flight® Network. There are several Honor Flight hubs in PG&E’s service area, including Honor Flight Bay Area, Honor Flight Central Coast and Central Valley Honor Flight. Each is a nonprofit volunteer-driven group that shares the goal of honoring local veterans by sending them to see their memorials in Washington D.C. #VeteransDay #Veterans

Thomas Mora proudly served his country as a sergeant in the U.S. Marines during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The Fresno-based customer service representative still serves others by running a program, supported by his coworkers at the Fresno Service Center, that raises funds to help veteran families. Thomas took over the program from Nez Hosseini, a former president of PG&E’s Veterans Employee Resource Group. For the last eight years, Thomas has worked with the Central Valley Veterans to identify veteran families in need. He’s raised money from his coworkers—and has donated money out of his own to buy gifts. But that’s not all. Thomas, a graduate of PG&E’s nationally recognized #PowerPathway  training program, has led drives to provide new shoes for students at Fresno’s Adams Elementary School. He buys U.S. flags and candy for kids attending the annual Fresno Veterans Day parade and carries a flag at the parade in honor of Fresno-area native and World War II veteran Vern Schmidt, who’s a few months shy of his 100th birthday. “Being able to give back is an amazing feeling,” said Thomas. “I wish I could put it into words, but it just feels great.”    #VeteransDay #Veterans

Recently, Pacific Gas and Electric Company Gas Service Representative Monty Dizon was working in a #Stockton neighborhood when he heard a scream and saw a woman being attacked on a sidewalk by a dog. Monty sprung into immediate action—scaring the dog away. He asked the woman to come towards him. As she was approaching, he asked if she was okay. She wasn’t. “Were you bitten?” Monty asked. The woman turned to show him the area where she felt pain and he noticed blood on her shirt. She showed him the two small holes on her right side above her hip. Blood was spilling out.   “I quickly grabbed my purple nitrile gloves and my first aid kit and began disinfecting and placing pressure on the holes, as best I could. I kept checking on her to make sure she was okay, she stated that she is fine.” His quick thinking and yearly first-aid and CPR training made all the difference. “It meant a lot to help out this woman. I wasn’t looking for recognition. If I were in her shoes, I would want someone to help me, as well,” Monty shared. Stockton Field Service Supervisor Joshua Husband praised Monty, “He’s the kind of guy you would want on your team. Dependable, hardworking and standup guy.” #SafetyFirst #HeroInAction #EverydayHeroes

Across #California, wildfire risk has changed – and so have we. We’re placing powerlines underground, expanding our network of weather stations, and using advanced technology like GridScope and line sensors along with #AI-enabled tools that help us predict wildfire weather in order to mitigate risk. Every step reflects our commitment to safely and reliably serve our customers and hometowns.    This video captures key aspects of PG&E’s #wildfiresafety progress over the last eight years – and the measurable change driven by our coworkers and partners across California. Together, this work has led to no major wildfires caused by our equipment in 2023, 2024, or so far in 2025 – a reflection of the progress we’re making. This trailer offers a first look at how technology, innovation and collaboration across PG&E are reshaping wildfire safety.
