To prevent wildfires, power companies are increasingly partnering with tech firms specializing in predictive analytics and remote sensing. These firms utilize advanced technologies like LiDAR and AI to identify vulnerable trees and map areas with high wildfire risk along power lines. By analyzing vegetation density, tree health, and proximity to infrastructure, these systems pinpoint potential ignition sources before a fire can start. This proactive approach allows power companies to implement targeted vegetation management, reducing the likelihood of wildfires caused by damaged power lines and enhancing grid resilience.
