Wildfire safety: Do your part

As camping season begins, wildfire safety should be top of mind. We use remote sensors to monitor the grid and manage vegetation near lines to help prevent accidental starts. If you are hiking or sleeping under the stars, remember to:

• Follow the rules of your campground.
• Do NOT build a campfire in hazardous, dry conditions.
• Find out if the campground has an existing fire ring or fire pit you can use.
• Have a source of water, a bucket and a shovel nearby at all times.
• Keep the fire small and under control.

May is Wildfire Awareness Month, and we are prepared with emergency plans and procedures to respond to wildfires that could affect our customers and equipment. We are also doing our part to prevent fires by inspecting and repairing our equipment, using remote sensors to monitor the grid and actively managing vegetation such as trees near our lines to reduce the possibility of a fire starting from contact.
