MPE will initiate Fire System Settings for its entire system from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Thursday and from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Friday, April 23-24, due to high winds and the potential risk of wildfires.

This higher sensitivity setting, or “one shot” as it’s called in the industry, means that if anything contacts a power line, that area is almost immediately de-energized. By placing our system on “one shot,” MPE greatly reduces the chances of starting a fire. The trade-off is that our system may experience more frequent and potentially longer outages in this setting.
