Live wires, falling poles, and sudden transformer explosions put everyone at risk. That’s why we sometimes block traffic and set up wide safety zones — to keep the public and our crews safe.
High-voltage lines can carry thousands of volts, and even a single exposed wire can be deadly.
If you see something like this, stay well back and call 911.
