"The system helps me sleep at night", the Electric Utility Director for the City of Redding, California, says about our IQ FireWatch system installed in the city. Because California has large areas of forest as well as many wildland urban interfaces (WUI) that are affected by severe wildfires every year, cities also need special protection.
To ensure the protection of lives, property and forests during day and night, the city chose our system as part of its Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
