Just a friendly reminder - Don't overload electrical outlets with lights and decorations. Overloaded outlets and faulty wires are a common cause of holiday fires. #SafetyAlways #MuniPower
The number one decoration that creates a festive atmosphere during the holidays is Christmas lights. So why not choose LED lights that save energy and save you money? Did you know that you can also string together 87 LED light strands vs. two strands of incandescent? Meaning you can give Clark Griswold a run for his money! #MuniPower
Tis the season for lists and lights, dashing and decorating… And the need to "check" the halls for holiday electric safety. We want to encourage electric safety with a few tips to help you avoid the most common risks for shock and electrical fires. #SafetyAlways #MuniPower

While, thankfully a very rare occurrence - overhead power lines sometimes fall to the ground, usually during severe weather events. If you ever come upon this situation, whether on foot or in a vehicle - it is imperative that you move far away from the situation and keep others away if possible. Never touch or attempt to move a down line! #MuniPower #SafetyAlways

Electrical safety is for everyone – whether at home, outside, at work or during a weather event. Check for cracked cover plates around your electric outlets. Eventually the cracks can turn to chips and expose metal contact points - presenting a shock risk and potential fire hazard. Don't use the outlet until the plate is replaced. #MuniPower #SafetyAlways
