Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest have been increasing in frequency and severity over the last few years. We have enacted a number of measures to reduce the risk of fires starting and spreading in our area.

Two of the most visible ways we are working on this is by adding equipment and removing trees.

We are adding more and more re-closers, which are pieces of equipment that quickly de-energize wires, reducing the likelihood of a wildfire.

We are also aggressively managing vegetation around our electric system.

See more details about our wildfire mitigation efforts.

We contract with Asplundh for tree trimming services. You may see them removing trees in your neighborhood.

Removing trees is a big part of our Wildfire Mitigation Plan. It also helps protect against outages during winter storms and high winds.

If you have trees in the vicinity of our power lines, please let us know.
