IIRC, I remember the Lexington fire above Los Gatos in the Santa Cruz Mountains back in the mid-80’s and previously PG&E wanted to cut back tree branches 4’ from power lines but was successfully sued by an environmental group and was only allowed to cut them back 3’ and sparks too close to the trees started the fire....don’t quote me, memory is hazy but I remember thinking, way back when, What the heck?!?

Hope you can share this memory with a group that can investigate, confirm, and use it.
