About Us

Wildfire risk is a persistent operational and regulatory challenge that requires more than disconnected tools it requires total coordination. Utility Wildfires serves as the essential coordinating layer for electric utilities.

As your program integrator and commercial lead, we unify detection, risk modeling, and workforce readiness into a single, scalable engagement. We reduce fragmentation and accelerate deployment, ensuring wildfire mitigation efforts translate into operational confidence rather than added complexity.

Utility Wildfires was founded by Neal Spungen, a wildfire technology and risk mitigation leader with extensive experience across detection, monitoring, and resilience initiatives. Neal has spent years collaborating with utilities, technology providers, and public-sector stakeholders to evaluate and deploy sophisticated mitigation strategies.

His expertise spans sensor and camera-based detection, AI-driven modeling, satellite platforms, and operational planning specifically for utility environments.

Through Utility Wildfires, Neal helps organizations cut through market noise to implement practical, defensible solutions that align with regulatory and safety objectives.
