NEVER touch a fallen power line, or anything or anyone in contact with it. If someone is in a car that is touching fallen lines, do not touch them or the car - you could be shocked. Instead, call the power company. If a power line hits your vehicle, stay inside, warn others to stay away, and wait for rescue personnel. If you must get out, jump clear without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time, and shuffle away.

Stay way from all downed wires - even if there are no sparks.

Do not touch anything that is touching a down line.

Get help right way!
