Dangers when pruning trees near power lines Pacific Gas and Electric Company reminds its customers to use extreme caution when pruning trees near high volt- age power lines. A recent tree pruning accident by a customer in the Plac- erville area put the customer at risk and resulted in a power outage and damage to electrical equipment. Last year alone there were 129 reports of accidents throughout our service territory mostly impacting power lines in the Sierra foothills and Sacramento Valley due to inappropriate tree cutting by third parties. Pruning trees next to power lines can be dangerous. Unqualified tree workers put their lives in jeopardy if they lack specialized training or the proper insulated tools required to work near high voltage power lines. PG&E offers the following safety tips for customers and contractors: • Assume all power lines are energized and extremely dangerous, including the service drop that runs from utility poles to buildings. Death or injury can result from contact, Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Douangdy Leut- napha, 37, of Fresno and Mark Chio Kuang Saephan, 30, of Suisun City were arrested Wednesday off north- bound Interstate 5 at Adobe Road. Both men were charged with pos- session of a controlled substance and transporta- tion of a controlled sub- stance. Bail for each man was set at $35,000. • Sergio Lopez Men- doza, 38, of Sunnyside was arrested Wednesday at the Tehama County Jail.

Vandalism • Someone reported Wednesday that a south- west glass panel of the Cone Kimball Tower appeared to have been shattered. Damages were even with these lower voltage lines. •Never prune or remove trees that are within 10 feet of high-voltage power lines. This type of work should only be performed by properly qualified and trained tree workers. •Avoid touching trees that are in contact with power lines. Injury, shock or death may result. Trees in contact with power lines are grounded to the earth, making them an excellent pathway for electricity to travel. • Cal/OSHA requires a minimum of 10 feet clearance between workers, equipment and high voltage power lines at all times. •Even greater distances are required when working near higher voltage electric transmission lines. •Never touch fallen power lines or approach them. The ground they touch may be energized. Stay at least 50 feet away. Report fallen or downed lines immediately to PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. Customers who have a question about trees being too close to power lines should call 1-800-743-5000. estimated at $200. There are currently no suspects.
