Electrical faults and combustible materials don’t mix. It has been estimated that about 10% of wildfires in the U.S. are ignited by a spark from an electrical fault. Increased urbanization of forested lands and recent hot, dry summers have increased the urgency of comprehensive wildfire management planning. Some states, such as California, require utilities to prepare and implement a Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
Cutting power to faulted lines before sparks can start a fire.
