For Rolling Hills Electric Cooperative, which aims to protect public safety and preserve the reliable delivery of electricity, wildfire mitigation is without question a top priority. While an electric utility can never fully eliminate the risk of fire, Rolling Hills Electric is committed to taking all practical actions available to prevent the devastation a wildfire could bring to the people and communities we serve. 

Examples of how Rolling Hills Electric is mitigating wildfires:

• Annual inspections of transmission lines, distribution lines, and underground distribution
   
• Detailed inspections as needed
   
• Pole testing
   
• Infrared inspections
   
• Vegetation management (tree trimming)
   
• Installing reclosers that will lock open if a fault is detected
   
• Public and Emergency Responder Safety
