“First and foremost, BEC is concerned about member and employee safety,” said Bill Hetherington, BEC chief executive officer. “We ask that you watch for and report any downed or low hanging power lines, and if you see a downed power line, do not touch it. Remember, high-voltage overhead lines are not insulated.”
 
Ice accumulations can cause downed wires; please remember not to approach them and treat them as if they are live. Call BEC at 866.226.3372 or law enforcement officials immediately if you see a downed power line. For more information, please visit BanderaElectric.com or follow us on social media.
