BSVFB on scene, but at last word, no tanker. Power out. Two vehicles.

I've not been able to see for myself but others are saying the fire is now under control and that the highway will reopen after a tow truck arrives.

At 10:30 PM we heard four hours and then at 11 PM we heard six hours for PGE to arrive and take care of the poles and secure the electrical situation, can anybody validation?
Richard, all I have ever heard is that it will probably be out all night.
