Abstract

Key Takeaways: Facing an increase in the size and complexity of wildland interface fires, water utilities must pay more attention to protecting vital infrastructures during potentially catastrophic wildfires. Water utilities can mitigate the impacts of wildfires by using a three‐pronged approach that includes collaborating with fire agencies, protecting infrastructure, and supporting air assets like firefighting helicopters. Gaining situational awareness at the onset of a wildfire helps minimize its impacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
