Asset Fire Solutions: Mitigating Risks and Enhancing Safety in Your Infrastructure

Wednesday, April 23, 2025 | 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. EST

Our webinars are eligible for IEEE PDH credit. To qualify, you must attend the webinar live and complete the IEEE evaluation we will provide following the event.

Wildfires pose a significant threat to electric utilities, causing widespread destruction and posing severe safety risks to communities and the environment. This webinar will explore fire mitigation strategies tailored for electric utilities, both preventive measures to properly assess utility assets to minimize the risk of contributing to the fire, and protective solutions that resist the significant damage wildfires can cause to utility structural assets.

Attendees will gain insights into structural assessment techniques, and the implementation of fire-resistant materials that can be applied to the structures. By integrating these solutions, electric utilities can significantly reduce:

• Wildfire risks
• Ensure uninterrupted power supply
• Protect both assets and communities.
