Pacific Power pushing efforts to curb wildfire risk amidst related lawsuit

Pacific Power, the company an Oregon jury found liable for some of the devastating Labor Day fires of 2020, is now pushing its own efforts to curb wildfire risk.

They were found liable back in June 2023. Pacific Power is now sending videos and interviews with their own internal forester to media outlets trying to highlight their work to clear trees around power lines.

PacifiCorp, owners of Pacific Power, have been ordered to pay $90 million for damage caused by fires, including those in the Santiam Canyon.

A series of post-trial motions have been filed that could alter the amount.
