What to do with a downed powerline
If You See A Downed Or Sagging Wire:
Don't take chances!

Font Size:
Even though that sagging wire or broken wire on the ground isn't sparking, it can still be "live" with a deadly amount of electricity. Keep people and pets at least 25 feet away. Be careful not to come in contact with anything the wire is touching - especially standing water or metal objects like fences. Even tree limbs can conduct a dangerous amount of voltage!
Remember the rule: Stay Away and Stay Alive.
If a wire is crossing a road or driveway, avoid the area and keep others away. Do not attempt to move the wire.
