danger occurs when a tree falls or eB : é planters

primary wires, or when a large
branch under snow load falls onto
the lines or smaps off and falls
across two lines.

The electricity will arc across to
the tree or branch, but if it is too
large, it will not ourn off. The
resultant heat or weight of limb or
tree may result in the cable actually
breaking. Even if it does not the
branch or tree will be energized
with electricity.

If you have a branch or tree fall
on these power lines during the
winter, phone B.C. Hydro and
your local police department right
away. Do not allow anyone to go
anywhere near the tree or the lines.
(The police will help with this).

Do not attempt to remove a
branch or tree from a power line.
Just stay well clear. This also ap-
plies in the case of a broken line or
a line down on the ground.

In all likelihood, the B.C. Hydro
fusing system has cut the power
off, but, don’t take a chance. If a
orimary line is down on the ground
or hanging, don’t even walk near
t. This will ensure your safety.
