Trees interfering with power lines can cause wildfires. Learn how you can help!
At Flathead Electric Cooperative, we devote a lot of time to Vegetation Management in order to lower the risk of wildfire. In the summer, a tree falling into the power lines can cause a fire because water-filled trees are natural conductors of electricity.
How can you help? When you’re at your home or business, simply look up. Are there trees threatening nearby power lines? If so, call your Co-op! If dangerous trees are within our right-of-way, we’ll step in to help. If not, we’ll offer you information for the best way to address your concerns.
We’re all in this together in a not-for-profit, member-owned electric cooperative. It’s everyone’s responsibility to maintain the system. Wildfires don’t understand property lines, and we have a stake in each others’ safety.
Please help your Co-op prevent dangerous wildfire.
