Since 2002, 1 out of every 8 acres in California has been burned by wildfire. Putting that into perspective, that’s like if 1/8 of New Jersey down to Georgia suddenly caught fire. This is only worsened by record droughts (2021 was Californias 2nd driest year on record), climate change, and aging infrastructure.
So how can utilities mitigate the risks of wildfire, when it’s becoming an increasingly global issue? Evan Stinson, Manager at AiDash sat down with ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, and former Senior Vegetation Program Manager at PG&E, Robert Warwick, to get his perspective.
