What should you do if you see a power line on the ground? Why is standing too close, even if you’re not touching it, so dangerous? In this important live-wire training event, Mason PUD 3 teams up with first responders across Mason County for a dramatic live-wire demonstration that shows just how deadly electricity can be and why public education is critical.

Through shocking visuals like burning hot dogs and sizzling bananas that mimic human tissue, viewers will learn why you should always stay at least 100 feet away from downed lines, even if they “look” inactive. Electricity can arc invisibly across the ground in deadly rings, and even a small contact can cause serious internal damage without immediate symptoms.

The video also breaks down the danger of improperly installed generators, which can cause "backfeed", sending voltage back through power lines and putting utility crews and neighbors at risk. The takeaway? Always use a professional to wire your generator.

You'll hear from PUD 3 experts on how this multi-agency partnership improves real-world response and protects both workers and residents. Mason PUD 3’s commitment to “Safety First” goes beyond their crews—it extends to the entire community. Whether it’s during an emergency or at a public outreach event like OysterFest, PUD 3 is working to spread life-saving information.

✅ Safety Tips Covered:
⚡️Stay 100 feet back from any downed power line—always assume it’s live.
⚡️Never try to move a power line or tree limb touching a line.
⚡️Be aware of electrical backfeed risks when using home generators—use a transfer switch.
⚡️Electricity is invisible—you can’t tell if a line is energized just by looking.
⚡️A small shock can cause serious internal injury even if there are no burn marks.
⚡️Teach kids to never play near utility poles, transformers, or downed lines.
