LANCASTER - Now
that deer hunting season
is here once again,
Pennsylvania Power &
Light Co. offers several
precautions that every
hunter should heed to
insure a safe hunting
trip.
Hunters are advised
to:
• Never climb poles,
towers or other elec
trical structures. The
facilities are most
probably energized, and
contact with them could
result in serious injuries
of electrocution.
• Never shoot at
poles, towers or
structures. Bullet or
pellet damage to in
sulators and other
electrical equipment
could result in severe
injuries to the hunter
and in service in
terruptions.
• Never touch fallen
wires. Always assume
that the wires are
electrified. If a person
or object is in contact
with the wire, don’t
attempt to touch the
person or object.
