Power Line and Pole Safety
The SDG&E pole brush program is a year-round effort to remove brush from the base of wood poles supporting power lines that may cause fires.
Poles with certain equipment such as fuses, switches, arrestors, and certain connectors are required to have a firebreak of ten feet or more in each direction.
This fire prevention program is mandated by laws enforced by Cal Fire.
Utility Pole Safety
Regular wood utility pole inspections are conducted to test the safety and integrity of power poles.
Safety on The Ground
Utilities are required to comply with General Orders, safety statutes and decisions.
