Hi everybody!
Dave from BC Hydro here. I want everybody to know if you see a downed power line, you should stay back at least 10 meters but how far is 10 meters anyway? Don't worry, I'm gonna show you now. So imagine there's a downed power line right here and this is 10 meters away,
it's further than you think. It's about the length of a yellow school bus.
Now, if you're out for a winter walk and you come across a downed power line, don't panic. What you need to do is shuffle away to a safe distance. Now once you're 10 meters away or more pick up your phone and dial 911. Remember if it's down, it's a danger,
always dial 911 to stay safe..
