Message from Starr Ranch (the Audubon sanctuary) describing Edison's efforts to mitigate wildfire risks.

Posted by Meg (aka Mojave) Aug 31 '23, 21:29

Starr Ranch electricity comes via a 12K volt line about a mile long and over a lot of open space. In an effort to prevent the poles and wires from causing a fire, SoCal Edison just began replacing our 13+ poles with ones made from a composite that doesn’t burn (and is also Acorn Woodpecker proof…). They’ll also be replacing the conductors with ones that are insulated. Part of this means that our power will be intermittently out, the first day being today, and at some point will be out for a week or so. During this longer period they will provide generators, but it still may be difficult for me to keep the cams going. This project is scheduled to take most of September. So if the cams are down, this is almost certainly why. Thanks, Pete

This is why they want them Acorn Woodpecker proof. Hi Mop ;) -- (pic) - Meg Aug 31, 21:34 [Attachment] 1
