Urban conflagration—large, vast moving fires that spread from structure to structure—pose a growing risk in many communities across the country, particularly in the areas where homes and infrastructure meet wildfire-prone landscapes. During this episode, Pacific Gas and Electric Senior Manager of Consequence Data Science Manuj Sharma and Technosylva Director of Fire Science Adrián Cardil discuss a new pilot project that uses advanced fire spread simulations to enhance mitigation, planning, and response capabilities.
