As a series of wildfires in Southern California persists, we continue to see impacts to our wireless network in parts of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties. Customers in affected areas may also be experiencing home phone and internet service disruptions, because of commercial power outages.

We have one of the industry’s largest disaster response programs to help keep wireless and wireline communications running during times of disaster. Our teams are being dispatched where it is safe to do so, though active fire areas and evacuation zones remain inaccessible until conditions improve. We are continuously deploying and refueling generators to provide service continuity to our customers until commercial power is restored, and we have set up staging yards throughout the region, equipped with additional network assets and generators.

Our dedicated team of meteorologists is constantly monitoring weather patterns to provide accurate forecasts and timely updates. This enables our teams to effectively respond to the evolving situation. As conditions allow, we will continue to deploy these resources to impacted areas.

Our FirstNet Response Operations Group™ (ROG) – led by a dedicated team of former first responders – is working around the clock to support public safety’s emergency communications and has liaisons engaged with local and federal agencies. In coordination with public safety officials, dedicated portable assets from the FirstNet fleet have been deployed to support firefighters and other first responders on the front lines where they need connectivity the most.   

We’d also like to express our gratitude to the men and women who put their lives on the line, day in and day out, to protect and support our communities.

As a reminder to our AT&T Postpaid & Prepaid customers in affected areas, we are waiving overage charges to provide unlimited talk, text and data through February 6, 2025. We’re also waving various charges for residential and business wireline orders placed through January 7, 2026.

We understand how critical it is for our customers to stay connected, especially during a disaster. We will continue to provide additional updates as our work continues.

Our thoughts are with the communities impacted by the devastating wildfires in Southern California. Customers in parts of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties may be experiencing wireless service disruptions, primarily due to power shutoffs.

To support first responders on the front lines, the FirstNet Response Operations Group™ (ROG) is deploying portable network recovery assets from the FirstNet fleet as requested by local public safety. These assets help ensure first responders have the dedicated connectivity they need to support emergency communications.

We’re also in contact with the local power companies to help maintain service for those affected. As always, our top priority is keeping our customers, their families and first responders connected.

During the recent Caldor and Dixie wildfires, our team worked to keep our customers and first responders connected, including deploying two FirstNet** satellite COLTs (cells on light trucks), and supported evacuees at community shelters.
