Don't take it on faith. Open the pole.
Our installers film each install and say every measurement out loud. Our software transcribes the clip, pulls out the numbers and checks them against Genics' published procedure as soon as the clip uploads, usually before the crew leaves the area.

Said on camera
Each measurement is the named installer's own statement, tied to the take and the second it was said. Tap a number and watch the moment.

Checked before sign-off
A missing measurement sends the installer back to re-shoot. An out-of-spec one escalates the pole. No pole is signed off on a guess.
Missing means re-shoot. Out of spec means the pole is escalated.
Open any pole, any time
One link per pole for your asset managers, auditors and insurers: the video, the measurements, the result, and any correction with who made it and when.

The details that decide performance.
Genics Fire Mesh™ is a proven solution for protecting wood assets in fire-prone environments, when it's installed as designed. Genics' procedure comes down to numbers, so every step can be measured, stated and checked.
-
01
Confirm
Match the pole to your asset list, note its condition at the groundline, and measure its circumference so each panel is cut to fit.
-
02
Excavate
Dig out around the base so the wrap runs below the surface, with no gap where ground fire can reach bare wood. Genics' minimum is 6 inches. We work to 6–12.
-
03
Wrap & fasten
Panels go on from the top down, each tucked 2 inches into the one below, wrapped tight with no gaps and stapled in a zipper pattern along every seam, to twice the height of the nearest fuel at maturity.
-
04
Restore & record
Backfill, compact and clear the site, then close the pole's record on camera before the crew moves on.

A wrap that has already been through fire.
We install Genics Fire Mesh™ in its woven fiberglass version, coated with an intumescent layer. When a grass fire reaches the pole, the coating swells into an insulating char that shields the wood at the groundline, where fire does its damage. Per Genics, its ¼-inch open grid lets the pole breathe, leaves the wood visible for inspection and keeps the pole climbable.
A wrapped pole stays in your inspection program. Per Genics, it can still be sounded through the mesh. For intrusive testing, cut a three-sided window in the mesh, fold it back, and tack it back in place once the sample is taken.
Genics reports testing with the Western Fire Center, Southwest Research Institute, Oregon State University, FPInnovations, Powertech Laboratories and others, and says the wrap can go on poles in any condition, regardless of weather, pole setting, species or treatment.Genics reports testing with the Western Fire Center, Southwest Research Institute, Oregon State University, FPInnovations and others, and says the wrap can go on poles in any condition, whatever the weather, species or treatment.
Wildfire liability is now measured pole by pole.
One western utility's wildfire losses now run into the billions, with its first jury verdicts still moving through appeal.
Idaho's 2025 Wildfire Standard of Care Act ties a utility's liability protection to an approved mitigation plan, and to following it. Neighboring states are passing similar laws.

For the owner of a gen-tie, theThe question an auditor, insurer or court will ask is simple: can you show the work was done right?
QA discipline, brought to the field.
Cascade Emberline was foundedFounded by Jedidiah Hurt, a former software engineering executive whose work was building systems that make complex procedures come out right every time. He has trained on every detail of Genics' published installation procedure, and built the pole record so you never have to take it on faith.
“Fire wrap works when every detail is right on every pole. Our job is to get it right, and to show you that we did.”
