SAFETY TIP: When outdoors, always watch out for overhead power lines. Stay at least 10 feet away to avoid hazards while flying kites, trimming trees, or doing roof work. Remember, even non-metallic objects like ladders and metallic ones like Mylar balloons can conduct electricity, risking electrocution. Treat all power lines as live and dangerous. Report any damage or low-hanging lines immediately and keep yourself and others safe. Your safety is our priority.
