Defending Electric Infrastructure from Wildfires

Defending Electric Infrastructure from Wildfires

In the first episode of the second season of CFC Solutions Cast, we chat with Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative (PSREC) General Manager Bob Marshall and PSREC Engineering and Operations Manager Jason Harston about protecting poles and other parts of utility infrastructure from the devastating effects of wildfires.

PSREC, based in Portola, California, has enhanced its approach to wildfire mitigation in recent years by implementing a number of new measures, including mastication, fire-resistant mesh and flame retardant.

Marshall and Harston discuss how PSREC leverages these different tools, as well as their experience with gaining support from the board, and how members feel about the cooperative’s wildfire mitigation measures. The duo also discuss lessons learned and its approach to managing liability risk.

Tune in to hear the critical insights PSREC shares about implementing effective wildfire mitigation measures to protect cooperative members and utility infrastructure.
