Don't Trim Trees Near Power Lines
Description
A reckless tree-trimming attempt in Anchorage left 2,000 people without power for three hours—and nearly sparked a fire. Chugach Electric warns: leave power line work to the pros. Live wires are no joke, and DIY efforts can endanger lives and delay restoration. Their year-round tree-clearing program maintains 20-foot safety zones, helps prevent fires, and creates vital firebreaks. If you spot a dangerous tree, call their hotline—they’ll handle it safely, legally, and without risking first responders or your neighborhood’s power.
