LA fires creating fuel shortages in Las Vegas area
Fuel shortages are expected in Las Vegas due to issues related to the Los Angeles fires.
The Kinder Morgan Pipeline, which is between the two areas, has been affected by the wildfires and power line de-energizations, according to officials.
This pipeline accounts for approximately 95% of the petroleum products used in the Vegas metropolitan area.
Though it isn't expected to meet the fuel consumption rates of the area, a plan is in place to transport fuel to Las Vegas.
Officials expect the power de-energization issues to continue through Sunday.
