Wildfire Mitigation for Utilities.

Protect critical utility infrastructure from wildfire risk with seasonal mitigation services.

Utilities face regulatory, financial, and public safety exposure from wildfire while operating in some of the most wildfire-exposed infrastructure in the country. Power shutoffs, infrastructure loss, and liability exposure have made wildfire mitigation a core business requirement—not a secondary concern.

Matrix Wildfire provides mitigation that aligns with infrastructure protection and insurance requirements.

Problem

The Challenges Facing Utilities

Utilities operate some of the most wildfire-exposed infrastructure in the country, where a single incident can trigger widespread outages, regulatory action, or long-term liability. Wildfire risk now directly affects operational continuity, insurance structures, and public trust.

Managing this risk is especially challenging across long corridors and distributed assets. Fragmented mitigation efforts can be difficult to defend to regulators and insurers, leaving utilities exposed to reactive costs and scrutiny after fire events rather than protected by documented, proactive planning.

Solution

How We Help Utilities

Matrix Wildfire supports wildfire risk reduction for linear and fixed infrastructure at scale.

Utilities partner with us to:

  • Reduce fire behavior near substations and corridors
  • Apply seasonal treatment without major construction
  • Demonstrate proactive risk management to regulators

Shift wildfire exposure from reactive cost to planned investment.

Risk Modeling

Identify & Cure Data Models

Technical Blueprint: The Step-by-Step Integration 

Matrix Wildfire leverages components of clients insurance IRP architecture: Risk Modeling and Risk Data Lakes.

  1. Client Asset Data: Matrix Wildfire maps high wildfire risk right-of-way (ROW) and maintenance-of-way (MOW), segmenting tracks into 100-meter geo-fenced intervals rather than single lines.
  2. Extract High-Risk Targets: Matrix Wildfire data models high risk spray mitigation across the track segments. The model analyzes historical fuel loads, slope, and weather vectors to generate a localized burn probability profile, pinpointing the exact coordinates where an ignition would cause catastrophic loss.
  3. Execute Precision Premitigation Spraying: Data is fed directly into our GUARDIAN spraying system's navigation targeting high-risk coordinates. GUARDIAN'S system applies nontoxic retardant precisely to those high-threat zones.
  4. Generate Telemetry Verification: Matrix GUARDIAN'S spraying hardware logs real-time telemetry: timestamp, precise GPS path, flow rate, and fuel saturation. This log acts as the physical proof of mitigation.
  5. Write Back to the Risk Data Lake: Matrix GUARDIAN'S telemetry logs into the client’s Risk Data Lake using Python/SQL extensions, overwrites the local "fuel load" or "ignition factor" variables for those treated track segments to reflect the 300% mitigation efficiency.
