Fallen power line

What to do

  2. Alert ANDE and emergency services if people are endangered.
  3. Do not touch someone contacting the wire. Wait for professionals to confirm disconnection.
  4. Keep others away without approaching the wire. Do not touch a car, fence, water or objects in contact. No sparks does not mean power is off.

What to avoid

  1. Do not touch or move wires. No pole rescue.
