Downed Power Line If You See a Downed Powerline - Never come in
close proximity or touch a fallen power line. - Never touch
anything or anyone in contact with a power line. You could be
shocked by contact with the line or a secondary object or
person. When a live wire touches the ground, electricity fans
out in a pool, similar to when a pebble hits water, with the
voltage decreasing as it travels from the center. You can be
shocked when in this area. Other factors play a role in the
severity of the situation, such as wet conditions and the
voltage of the wire. Reporting a Downed Power Line - Don't touch
any fallen power line — stay away and call Vectren immediately.
- Call Vectren at 1-800-227-1376 immediately and report the

Call 911 if someone is in a vehicle that is touching a line. DO
