How about better maintenance of what is there, as well as better maintaining of combustible debris on the right of ways for those lines so that when sparks do fall from equipment there is lesser chance of starting a fire?

Fires is a natural thing out there, but man has tried to stop them and allows a large accumulation of tinder to develop so when a fire does occur it is a big fire.
