How IoT Sensors Prevent Wildfire Ignition on Power Lines
Wildfires ignited by power lines are a growing threat in dry, windy regions. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how utility companies are deploying IoT sensor networks to detect early signs of equipment failure — arcing, conductor sag, vegetation contact — before they spark a fire. They walk through a specific case: a California utility that installed tens of thousands of line-mounted sensors across high-risk corridors, and how the data flows from detection to dispatch in under 30 seconds. Along the way, they discuss the technical challenges of operating sensors at extreme temperatures…
