Victorville Municipal Utility Services’ (VMUS) overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economic electric service to its service territories. In order to meet this goal, VMUS constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

VMUS' electric supply system is located underground in conduit and vaults. Historically, undergrounded electric lines have not been associated with catastrophic wildfires. The undergrounding of electric lines serves as an effective mitigation measure to reduce the potential of power-line ignited wildfires. Based on a review of local conditions and historical fires, VMUS has determined that its electrical lines and equipment do not pose a significant risk of catastrophic wildfire.

Despite this low risk, VMUS takes appropriate actions to help its region prevent and respond to the increasing risk of devastating wildfires.  This Wildfire Mitigation Plan describes the safety-related measures that VMUS follows to reduce its risk of causing wildfires.
