Maybe the question is "can you avoid contributing to the risk of igniting a wildfire?".

Suppose you have a crash (due to a leak or something?); is there a high danger that you would set off a wildfire if you landed in an area of dry vegetation?

People are very conscious of this because it's wildfire season right now in many places, and electrical utilities (some of your customers) are increasingly being accused of having a role in triggering wildfires. Although in some cases that involves their failure to perform adequate inspections, so you would probably be helping reduce that risk overall by performing useful and rapid inspections.
