Fallen Power Lines
Fallen power lines are deadly! Stay clear of downed lines in your yard or in the street. Don’t touch one or try to move any object that contacts it or any object even near it. Please do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. Don’t step in any nearby water puddles - they can be as dangerous as the live wires themselves. The number for Lakeland Electric customers to call to report fallen power lines is 866-834-4248.
If you are in a car or truck that accidentally gets entangled in a power line, stay where you are. Don’t try to get out, unless fire or severe injuries demand it. In those cases, jump with both feet together (so you break all contact with the vehicle) and land on the ground in the same way. If no help is available, try driving your car or truck away so the wire can slide off.
To Report A Power Outage Call (866) 834-4248 or Report It Online.
