Storm Clean-Up Safety
Landowners are reminded to use caution when cleaning up fallen trees and branches. Don’t climb a ladder with a chain saw. Don’t climb into a damaged tree. Never touch any tree or branches near electrical wires. Assess your particular tree situation carefully and watch for safety hazards. Most tree work needs to be done by professional arborists, especially when the work requires climbing or the tree is leaning against another tree or structure. If you’re going to work on your trees yourself, make sure you have the skills and the right safety gear.
If you have any questions about downed wires or removing or pruning trees near downed wires, contact your Utility Company
