Nice post Wayne. I'd like to add that you should be careful of downed wires also. Almost got to see a lady get fried by a downed primary line. Coming back to the station from a fire run, we came across a downed primary line that was on the ground and arcing. We had been getting a lot of rain lately and a storm was going through at the time so the rain was coming down heavily. The line was touching the ground by the pole next to the street, and there was a car about six feet from the line. All of a sudden a lady rushes out from the house in front of the car and start running for the car obviouly trying to save the car. Our mouths just dropped but the driver hit the air horn and stopped her in her tracks about 25 feet from the line. She would have come within 10 feet of the line and there was standing water in the grass. She definantely would have been zapped if she had kept going. So don't forget about the stuff on the ground too.
