SCE Drone on Duty
By Gazette Staff Writers — Friday, July 7th, 2023
A Southern California Edison (SCE) drone was spotted this week over Goodenough Road. Edison started its drone program in 2019 and say crews have been able to reduce the risk of a wildfire by 75% to 80%. They are looking for broken insulators or cotter keys and pins, or anything that may damage or spark an ignition. They can send the drones into hazardous or remote areas where it may not be safe for crews. |
