It’s #WildfirePreparednessWeek in California. We are committed to keeping our communities safe, and that includes having a team of fire scientists to help mitigate wildfire risk. Tom Rolinski, with nearly 30 years of experience, explains how he has built SCE’s fire science program, including modeling fire behavior, producing seasonal outlooks and advising on strategic mitigation efforts. Once the team identifies areas of concern, SCE will take that information and increase its wildfire mitigation and vegetation management efforts around those locations in high fire risk areas.   “We are continually incorporating more advanced fuels information in a comprehensive way to determine fire potential,” Rolinski said. “When we think about the behavior of fires, we look at things like flame length and fire intensity. Those kinds of aspects of how a fire burns are important because that determines the size, how suppressible it will be and what kind of impact it might have on a community.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giPvTUxs

Team effort for a greener tomorrow. 🌎 This week, Katie Sloan, vice president of Customer Programs & Services at SCE, participated in the White House Roundtable on Zero-Emission Freight Infrastructure with several key partners, including the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of Transportation and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It was exciting to have so many heavy-duty electric fleet projects in our service area highlighted with industry partners. To date, our Charge Ready Transport Program supports 126 heavy-duty sites, which represent 2,036 EVs and 1,847 ports. We also have 20 heavy-duty EV projects in progress and will support 850 ports through normal interconnection sites. Our participation in such vital discussions underscores our commitment to reducing air pollution and accelerating the adoption of electric transportation to better serve our customers and our communities.
