Here are a few "must-know" tips to help keep you and your family safe. You may have heard a few of these before, but it can't hurt to hear them again. Â Stay away from downed power lines. Don't drive over them. And remember, it's not just the power line that may be electrified, but the ground surrounding the line, as well. Â If a power line is touching your car, stay inside the vehicle and call 911. Â Before you dig, call 811 to have underground utility lines marked. Â Install ground-fault circuit interrupters in your kitchen and bathrooms. Â If something that's plugged in falls into water, DON'T reach in to get it. Don't even unplug it until after you've cut the power off at the circuit breaker. Â Watch where you're placing that ladder. Do not let it touch any electrical wires. Â Don't overload outlets. We've got more gadgets than ever before to plug in these days. That doesn't mean an outlet can handle them all. Overloaded circuits cause an estimated 5,300 fires a year. Â Don't touch a damaged electrical cord or one showing bare wire. Â Don't run an electrical cord under a rug. Don't staple or nail electrical cords. Â If you have young children, put plastic safety covers on your unused electrical outlets.
