Patriot General Engineering is proud to be a part of the Imperial Irrigation District’s (IID) Avenue 42 Substation Upgrade Project, a critical energy infrastructure investment that represents the first of four major power projects designed to support the continued growth of the City of Indio and the greater Coachella Valley.
-
On January 6, 2026, IID and the City of Indio officially broke ground on the Avenue 42 Substation Project, marking a significant milestone in a forward-looking partnership between IID and the Indio Electric Financing Authority (IEFA), which was formed in 2023. Together, these projects will ultimately provide enough power capacity to energize approximately 16,000 single-family homes, strengthening reliability, redundancy, and long-term energy security for the region.
-
Patriot General Engineering takes great pride in working with organizations like the Imperial Irrigation District, the City of Indio, and Henkels & McCoy West whose leadership and vision are helping to power sustainable growth and economic opportunity throughout the region. We are honored to play a role in infrastructure projects that strengthen communities, support local businesses, and help build a reliable energy future for Southern California.

Patriot General Engineering and the Patriot Empowerment Institute were honored to be invited to speak at SDG&E’s Lean In & Valor Employee Resource Group Veterans Day Executive Event. We were proud to share the work we’re doing to support our active-duty service members and veterans as they transition into purposeful, meaningful post-service careers.

Patriot General’s Director of Safety Services — and U.S. Army Infantry veteran — Todd Vance delivered a powerful message, sharing his personal story of military service and the challenges he faced returning to civilian life. His journey is a reminder of why this work matters and why community partnerships like this are so important.

The Patriot Empowerment Institute non-profit was founded by Patriot General CEO Steve Garcia, his brother Ben Garcia, and their Marine Corps Force Recon teammate James Leandro, with one mission: to bridge the gap between military service and the civilian workforce. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share that mission with SDG&E and to stand alongside organizations committed to empowering those who’ve served.

🌲🔥 Understanding Wildfire Defensible Space: Zone Zero, Zone One, and Zone Two

Creating defensible space around your home can protect your property and loved ones during wildfire season. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Zone Zero (0-5 feet): The “Immediate Zone” is closest to your home and critical for defense. Keep this area free of flammable materials like dry leaves, dead plants, or wood piles. Opt for non-combustible materials like gravel or concrete and fire-resistant plants.

Zone One (5-30 feet): The “Lean, Clean, and Green Zone” reduces fuel for fires. Space trees and shrubs apart, remove dead vegetation and keep grass trimmed to 4 inches or less.

Zone Two (30-100 feet): The “Reduced Fuel Zone” slows fire spread. Create horizontal and vertical spacing between trees and shrubs, prune branches up to 6-10 feet from the ground, and remove debris.

Your efforts make a difference! 🏡🔥 Stay prepared, stay safe.

Red Flag Warnings alert fire managers on federal lands to conditions that are highly unfavorable for prescribed burns and that may lead to especially dangerous wildfire growth.
-
To issue a Red Flag Warning, we need the following:
-
1) DRY FUELS:
Ten-hour fuels of 8% or less. This parameter describes how much water is held by small vegetation such as grass, leaves, and mulch that take only about ten hours to respond to changes in dry/wet conditions.
-
2) LOW HUMIDITY:
When the air is dry, usually with relative humidity (RH) levels below 25%, it increases the likelihood that any spark or small fire can ignite surrounding vegetation
-
3) HIGH WINDS:
Sustained winds of 15 mph or higher, with gusts exceeding 25 mph, can rapidly fan flames, pushing a fire across a large area quickly.
-
According to the National Weather Service, Red Flag Warnings are usually only issued during the spring and fall fire weather seasons, February 15 – April 30 and October 1 - December 15. In Southern California, however, Red Flag Warning season can extend throughout the calendar year.
-
When warnings are issued, officials know how to curtail planned burns and how to be on the lookout for wildfires.
-
Patriot General provides full-service fire mitigation and protection.
-
Let Patriot General Engineering be your fire prevention contractor this fire season. We give ignitions a PSA that allows you to send crews out with peace of mind. Patriot General Engineering Fire Division is a full-service fire prevention, suppression, and emergency medical provider. Our fire crews (QFFs) understand the scopes of work required and have received extensive training in the risks of working around high-voltage utilities. We are qualified to perform these duties per SDG&E standards and requirements and possess the following certifications and training: NWCG, FEMA, SDGE, plus ongoing training in the field of safety, fire prevention, fire suppression, and EMS.
