A key mechanisms of wildfire spread: embers. They are pieces of biomass that are burning and fly long distances aided by wind, landing further away. They can generate spot fires ahead. Embers are also called firebrands. In 1666 London they were called fire drops.

True example of fire risks to critical infrastructure. Berkeley is not immune from this, our lines come into campus through Strawberry Canyon and have experienced PSPS before. Campus does not have 100% backup power capability.

Folks may not have heard this but @Stanford is currently closed (for the indefinite future) due to 20acre wildfire that damaged the key @PGE4Me transmission lines that serve campus. I'm sure that the good people of @IBEWlocal1245 are working hard to restore power as we speak...
