ALWAYS ASSUME ALL DOWNED LINES ARE LIVE
- Call us at 507-451-2480 if you see a downed power line.
- Stay as far away as possible from a downed power line. Keep children away too.
- Do not drive over a power line.
- If a power line falls on your car, stay inside the vehicle, warn people not to touch the car, and call 911.
- If the car is on fire:
- Open the door, but DO NOT step out of the car.
- With hands at your side, jump completely free of the vehicle so you are not touching the car when you land on the ground.
- Never make a connection between your body, the car’s shell, and the road.
- Keep both feet close together and shuffle away from the vehicle WITHOUT picking up your feet.
- Never climb a tree with power lines running through it.
