SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH

POWER LINES

It is important to remember that if you encounter a downed electrical line to stay clear of the line, and call the power company to report it. If the electrical line crosses the road/highway, you should call 9-1-1 immediately to alert emergency services.

NEVER drive over a line, or remove an electrical line that has fallen on, or around your vehicle. Stay clear and do not attempt to touch a down power line in anyway.

THINK SAFETY FIRST!
