Generator Safety
Be safe and allow at least five feet of clearance on all sides. Do not operate generators indoors or in wet conditions. Make sure to use the proper power cords and store gasoline in the proper receptacles. Please see attached Generator Safety Tips.
Power Lines
Downed power lines are dangerous. Never touch them. For safety’s sake, always assume that a fallen power line is live. If you suspect a hazardous situation is present due to trees or branches in close proximity to power lines, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. An image of the types of wires on power poles is included below for reference.
