SHIELDING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Wildfires, fuelled by brush, grass and other vegetation, cause billions of dollars in damage worldwide each year.
Their rapid spread and intense heat can consume anything in their path, including homes, infrastructure, and natural landscapes. Particularly devastating in certain regions, these fires wreak havoc on local ecosystems, wildlife, and valuable assets.
One of the major consequences of such fires is the destruction of power lines and utility poles, leading to widespread outages. The cost of repairing this critical infrastructure is significant, and the disruptions to power and telecommunications services can be especially severe for local communities, who are often most in need of these resources during the very natural disaster that caused the damage.
