Our ICYMI series brings stories from our print magazine to the airwaves on the Line Life Podcast. In this ICYMI episode, we highlight the story, "Ramping Up Resiliency and Reliability in the Rocky Mountains,"  from our May 2026 wildfire special section.

The article, authored by Adam Paulson, vice president of operations for Mountain Parks Electric (MPE) in Colorado, describes his cooperative's response to devastating wildfires, detailing how it rebuilt its system with a four‑year vegetation trim cycle, drone-assisted inspections, digital workflows and strengthened partnerships to boost reliability and safety. This audio story also covers MPE's investments in renewables and broadband and how a people-first safety culture and emerging tools like AI position the cooperative for a resilient, sustainable future.
