What to do if you see a downed power line:

Never, ever touch a downed power line or go near one. Power lines are not insulated like power cords. Always assume the power line is live.

  • Don't touch a downed power line or other equipment.
  • Don't touch anything or anyone in contact with a downed power line.
  • Keep children and pets away from a downed power line.
  •  Don't drive over a downed power line.


Leave the area immediately. Call 9-1-1 first, and then call Roseville Electric Utility at 916-774-5428.
