FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — After Monday’s winter blast made for a messy holiday commute, City of Fresno crews used a break in the storm to make repairs on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
“Our department has about two dozen staff out filling potholes, clearing drains, and getting ready for the next storm,” Public Works Director Scott Mozier told Action News.<\/p>\n
He is now asking residents to do their part ahead of the powerful second punch that is on the way.<\/p>\n
“Keep gutters and your property clear of debris, just so that the storm water can get into the inlets (for) the system and not cause flooding,” Mozier said.<\/p>\n
The flooding is a major concern across Fresno County.<\/p>\n
“We’re worried about that water going into the boss’s house, and we just redid that house, so we wanna keep it from going in,” Mark said.<\/p>\n
He and another man shoveled sandbags in Clovis on Tuesday morning. They worked side by side to fill 15 bags in a few minutes.<\/p>\n
“It goes in the bag a lot easier, and then the other guy can hold it, and the other guy ties it,” Mark said. “A lot quicker.”<\/p>\n
With more rain on the way, there are also concerns about downed trees after one fell in Southwest Fresno.<\/p>\n
“The ground is going to get really saturated, and once it’s saturated like that, it doesn’t take the same level of wind speed to knock trees into powerlines,” PG&E spokesperson Jeff Smith told Action News on Monday.<\/p>\n
City of Fresno crews remain ready, monitoring the FresGo app for reports of those downed trees, potholes, and clogged storm drains.<\/p>\n
“On any given storm, we always have crews on standby, and we’re able to deploy our full complement of staff,” Mozier said.<\/p>\n
