A safety initiative, “Building Lightning Safe Communities,” was implemented two years ago to provide lightning protection resources to the public and fire safety communities. Since the implementation of the program, fire stations have seen a reduction in lightning-related losses.
The program has provided approximately $200,000 in lightning protection systems for at-risk structures in eight states across the country. The systems were installed at fire stations to protect firefighters, structures, and sensitive communication equipment against the damage caused by lightning strikes.
