Watch Out for Wires

Stay clear of downed or sagging wires – they could be lethal. Warn children and others to stay away. Fallen wires may be hidden by trees or debris, so exercise extreme caution when moving through an outage zone. If you see someone who is being electrocuted by a downed wire DO NOT TOUCH THEM WITHOUT PROTECTION. Attempt to free them only with a rubber or wooden object, such as a heavy tree limb, or you, yourself, may be electrocuted.
