The IRA allocates $2.8B to climate risks incl. wildfires. @GridwareInc CEO @TimBarat sees an opportunity to enable “utilities to both adapt & mitigate against the negative impacts of climate change on their critical infrastructure, especially as it relates to wildfire ignition.”

In the 1900s, linework had a fatality rate of 50%. Henry Miller changed that when he founded the IBEW. On July 10, 1896, he suffered a fatal accident on the job. Today, we honor Henry and the lineman who risk their lives to power America. #NationalLineworkerAppreciationDay

In 2001 - In response to the outbreak of wildfires in nature areas, Smokey's campaign changed once more. It is now, "Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires" Between 2000-01, more than 6,966,996 acres burned in the U.S. causing more than $2 Billion in damage. #SmokeyTheBear

In 1947 - Smokey's campaign adapted to the environmental concerns... camp fires and poorly discarded cigarettes turning into wildfires. The campaign ran for 54 yrs. Today - 85% of all wildfires are STILL caused by Humans. "Remember.... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires"

Since 1944, The Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention campaign is the longest running public service campaign in U.S. History. His original catchphrase was "Smokey Says - Care will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires" #FBF
