Wildfire in San Mateo County leads to power outage at Stanford, which cancels in-person classes.
Stanford University canceled in-person classes Thursday and Friday due to a power outage from a wildfire burning in unincorporated San Mateo County.
By Wednesday evening, power was restored to hospitals and other high-priority buildings and residences on the campus. Students also didn’t have access to filtered water in the dormitories during this time. Dalva said that key cards also stopped working temporarily, meaning that students couldn’t enter the residences for a certain period of time.
According to Stanford alerts to the community, although power restoration to student residences is a priority, it “still falls well short of a full campus restoration.”
