Wildfire Mitigation

Edko’s Wildfire Mitigation Services provide proactive vegetation management programs designed to reduce fire risk and protect critical utility infrastructure in high-threat fire zones. As wildfires become more frequent and severe, we create and maintain defensible space around transmission lines, substations, and distribution systems—minimizing ignition potential, managing fuel loads, and helping safeguard nearby communities. Our comprehensive approach combines strategic fuel reduction, mechanical clearing, herbicide applications, and ongoing maintenance to establish long-term fire resilience. From dense brush removal to precise fuel break creation, Edko’s specialists exceed industry clearance standards to protect people, property, and power delivery systems before the next fire season strikes.

What we are about

Wildfires are an escalating threat to both communities and the infrastructure that powers them. Edko’s wildfire mitigation programs are built on proactive, science-based vegetation management strategies that address the unique conditions of every site. We identify potential ignition sources, assess vegetation density, and design targeted treatments to reduce fuel continuity across rights-of-way and utility corridors. Our crews use a balanced mix of mechanical treatments, selective herbicide use, and strategic tree removals to control vegetation while preserving environmental integrity. Each program is tailored to the terrain, vegetation type, and regional fire behavior patterns—ensuring not only compliance with current regulations but alignment with broader Community Wildfire Protection Plans. By coordinating directly with forestry agencies, fire marshals, and utility partners, Edko delivers turnkey solutions that extend from initial risk assessment through post-treatment maintenance. The result is a defensible, low-fuel landscape that reduces liability, enhances operational safety, and supports long-term resilience for utilities and the communities they serve.

What if trees grew half as fast?

No, seriously.
