In May of this year Arizona Public Service (APS) implemented its Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program for high fire-risk areas in Yavapai County. PSPS is a safety measure that temporarily shuts off power during periods of high wildfire danger. While PSPS may create hardships, its primary goal is to safeguard lives, properties, and the community’s well-being by preventing wildfires caused by downed power lines.
