drone flying near power pole

You may see drones near power lines soon. This is your co-op working to improve reliability and safety, and reduce wildfire risk. To keep your power reliable and reduce outages, inspections focus on utility poles, wires, and electrical equipment within Fairfield Electric’s rights-of-way. They will identify potential equipment issues, such as cracked insulators, damaged crossarms, or encroaching vegetation that may not be visible from the ground. These flights will help us catch problems early and prevent outages before they occur.
