Stay away and call us.
Always assume downed lines are live and stay away. Call us 24 hours, 7 days a week at (800) 833-8876 to report any downed line or car vs. pole accident.
Stay in your car.
If a power line comes down on your car stay in the vehicle (unless there's a fire) until utility crews tell you that you can exit. Don't touch any metal in the vehicle. If people come near to help, tell them to stay away and call 911 and Midland Power at (800) 833-8876.
Jump then shuffle, don't run.
If you have to exit a vehicle with a downed wire on it because of a fire, open the door but do not step out of the car. Instead, of keeping both feet together, jump free of the car so that your body clears the vehicle before touching the ground. Once you clear the vehicle, shuffle at least 50 feet away with both feet on the ground.
