Wildfire Prevention Today and Tomorrow: PG&E Shares 2025 Wildfire Season Readiness Update, Showcases Local XPRIZE Wildfire Competitors
PG&E's Layers of Protection Are Working, Prevented a Major Wildfire in 2023 and 2024 SAN RAMON, Calif., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to monitor wildfire conditions and deploying proven layers of wildfire protection to prevent wildfires, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) shared its readiness ahead of peak wildfire season. These layers of protection helped prevent a major wildfire in 2023 and 2024. Today, at PG&E's Applied Technology Services lab, the company's research and development facility, PG&E shared details about how the layers of protection are applied throughout PG&E's service area to prevent wildfires. PG&E was joined by representatives of XPRIZE Wildfire and two local teams – Ember Guard and Rain – who bring AI power and autonomous firefighting to the competition. PG&E is a proud sponsor of XPRIZE Wildfire and its work to build a pipeline of new technologies that support advanced wildfire mitigation, detection and response. Today's Wildfire Resilience from Layers of Protection Undergrounding Powerlines in high fire-risk areas to permanently eliminate ignition risk. PG&E has undergrounded approximately 915 miles of powerlines since 2021 and plans to have nearly 1,600 total miles of powerlines underground by the end of 2026. Overhead System Upgrades include the installation of strengthened power poles and covered powerlines. This work reduces wildfire ignition risk by nearly 67% once completed. PG&E has completed more than 1,430 miles of overhead system upgrades since 2018 and plans to complete nearly 1,900 total miles of system upgrades by the end of 2026. Situational Awareness Improvements including the deployment of a state-wide network of nearly 1,600 weather stations, of which 1,400 are artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning enabled, and more than 650 high-definition wildfire cameras. The AI enabled cameras process data and provide automated wildfire notifications. Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) automatically turn off power within one-tenth of a second, or faster, if a wildfire hazard is detected. These settings protect 1.8 million PG&E customers in areas with elevated or extreme wildfire risk. In 2024, these settings contributed to more than a 65% reduction in reportable ignitions, compared to the 2018-2020 average. More than half of customers protected by EPSS did not experience a power outage while EPSS was enabled in 2024, and the average duration of outages on an EPSS-enabled circuit decreased 17% from the prior two-year average. Vegetation Management programs continue to evolve using a data-driven, risk-informed approach to help reduce both outages and potential ignitions caused by vegetation contacting PG&E's equipment. Over the past five years, PG&E has inspected, trimmed or removed over 960,000 trees and other types of vegetation in our service area. Drone inspections that more efficiently provide a bird's eye view of assets from the ground and air. Public Safety Power Shutoffs are a last resort during extreme weather conditions to reduce the risk of catastrophic fire. PG&E's experienced meteorologists use cutting-edge weather models to forecast wildfire risk at a granular level to determine the transmission and distribution circuits that will get de-energized. 'Rather than being reactive to conditions, our wildfire work proactively protects and prevents wildfire. We're keeping our system safe while we build resilience for the future. This work is essential in light of extreme weather and extended wildfire seasons,' said PG&E Wildfire Mitigation Vice President Andy Abranches. Tomorrow's XPRIZE Goal: Detect Earlier, Extinguish Faster As wildfire conditions are dynamic from year to year, PG&E is committed to supporting a pipeline of new research, development and innovation to address climate-driven wildfire challenges. PG&E today joined XPRIZE Wildfire and two local teams participating in the four-year, $11 million competition to accelerate the speed of detection and suppression of destructive wildfires. XPRIZE Wildfire encourages teams from around the world to innovate around a wide range of firefighting technologies across two complementary tracks designed to transform how potentially catastrophic fires are detected, managed and suppressed. PG&E is the co-title sponsor of XPRIZE Wildfire along with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. 'For 30 years, XPRIZE has spurred innovation to address the world's most pressing challenges. In 2023, we launched XPRIZE Wildfire with a goal to end destructive wildfires,' said XPRIZE Wildfire Program Director Andrea Santy. 'Today, we have an incredible global cohort of dozens of teams making monumental strides towards developing solutions to reach this audacious goal.' One of the Bay Area teams showcased at the event was Palo Alto-based Ember Guard, a cross-disciplinary team led by Ahvish Roy, founder of ARX, and supported by Sangram Ganguly, Chief Technology Officer of Rhombus Power. It uses deep learning along with AI to produce a scalable cloud-based high-resolution wildfire model that forecasts the likely propagation and intensity of a wildfire so that firefighters can prioritize their limited resources Also participating was Alameda-based Rain, which recently showcased autonomous wildfire suppression technology in California. A Black Hawk helicopter equipped with wildfire mission autonomy from Rain and MATRIX™ autonomy technology from Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, conducted a demonstration of a wide range of wildfire response missions and tasks, including finding and suppressing early-state wildfires, all commanded via tablet. Rain is a participant in the Electric Program Investment Charge program, a research and development project.

ZBIO Deadline: ZBIO Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K Have Opportunity to Lead Zenas BioPharma, Inc. Securities Lawsuit Filed by The Rosen Law Firm
NEW YORK, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Zenas BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZBIO) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the 'Registration Statement') issued in connection with Zenas BioPharma's September 2024 initial public offering ('IPO' or the 'Offering'), of the important June 16, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm. So What: If you purchased Zenas BioPharma securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the Zenas BioPharma class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 16, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, the Registration Statement contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Zenas BioPharma materially overstated the amount of time it would be able to fund its operations using existing cash and expected net proceeds from the IPO; and (2) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times and negligently prepared. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Zenas BioPharma action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 case@

Uneven tech jobs report clouded by a confluence of factors, CompTIA finds
Economic, geopolitical and technological uncertainties weigh on tech hiring DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Uneasiness continues to weigh on tech hiring activity, according to CompTIA, the leading global provider of vendor-neutral information technology (IT) training and certification products. Tech sector companies added a modest 1,571 net new employees in May, analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) #JobsReport data reveals.1 Job growth in cloud infrastructure and tech services was offset by reductions in the telecommunications sector. Tech occupation employment across the economy declined by an estimated 131,000 positions.2 With prior month employment gains, tech occupation employment remains in the positive for the year. The unemployment rate for tech occupations for May was 3.4%, roughly in line with April's 3.5% rate. The tech unemployment rate continues to sit below the national rate. 'It is undoubtedly a challenging time for employers and job seekers facing uncertainty on multiple fronts,' said Tim Herbert, chief research officer, CompTIA. 'At the same time, it requires taking a measured approach given the data continues to hold up reasonably well.' Active employer job postings for tech positions reached nearly 470,000 last month, including 208,791 new postings added in May.3 There was solid employer demand for software developers and engineers, tech support specialists, systems engineers and architects and cybersecurity engineers and architects. Hiring for artificial intelligence (AI) positions and those requiring AI skills continues to increase at a rapid pace, according to CompTIA analysis of Lightcast data. Employer job postings related to AI are up 117% year-to-date year-over-year. Skills-based hiring remains core to many employers' recruiting strategies. About one-half of all tech job postings did not specify a need for a four-year academic degree, but rather some combination of work experience, training and industry-recognized certification. The finance and insurance industry sector saw a 21% increase in new tech occupation job postings in May, while new tech job openings in the retail sector rose by 16%. The New York City, Washington and Dallas metropolitan areas had the highest volumes of tech job postings for the month. Four metro markets experienced double-digit percentage increases in tech job postings from April to May: Virginia Beach (+25%), Colorado Springs (+16%), San Diego (15%) and Seattle (+10%).
