Incredible how someone at Wired wrote this piece without looking at Europe once.

Burying #PowerLines Prevents #Wildfires. But There’s a Cost
Investigators are eying the Lahaina wildfire as yet another deadly blaze started by electrical equipment. Putting lines underground would help—at a steep cost.

1923 Berkeley, California, fire - Wikipedia

@chris
"Although the exact cause was never determined, the fire began in the undeveloped chaparral and grasslands of Wildcat Canyon, just east of the ridgeline of the Berkeley Hills, and was propelled over the ridge and southwestward just south of Codornices Creek by a strong, gusty, and intensely dry northeasterly wind."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Berkeley,_California,_fire

Heat and wind appear to be the common cause for all the fires across California that week, and electrical delivery infrastructure was really young in 1923.

A lot of the towers and transmission equipment built by #PGE in California are old. The #Paradise #fire was caused by a hook on a tower that had been swinging in the wind long enough to saw itself in half. A PG&E engineer told me that the towers in the SF #EastBay are of the same vintage as Paradise.

It's also worth noting that people thought planting #eucalyptus was a good idea for a cash crop, in the late 19th century, in California.

100 years ago, California burned. Marin, Sonoma, Berkeley badly hit, some towns lost forever. Read about it here.

#Powerlines likely caused #Maui’s first reported #fire, video and data show. The finding adds to evidence that the island’s #electricutility was the source of at least some fires reported on Aug. 7 and 8. Sound familiar? https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/08/15/maui-fires-power-line-cause/
