Fallen Wires

  • Keep clear of fallen wires even if they don’t appear to be live.
  • Report fallen wires to the police or Horizon Utilities immediately.
  • If a wire falls across your car while you're in it, don't get out. Both the car and the ground around it may be electrified. Wait for a Horizon Utilities crew to remove it safely. It is safe to use your cell phone.
