Summary

Where power lines traverse areas where fires occur, a number of effects are experienced by these lines and, major system disruptions have resulted from wild fires under lines. Attention is also devoted to ways to predict the inception of dangerous fire weather. The steps are discussed that can be taken by the designer of OHL as well as the vegetation manager in order to manage and minimize fire effects on OHL within their managed easements.
