PHENIX CITY, Ala. (WDNews) – Alabama Power recently hosted a Safe-T-Zone training event in Phenix City, where 40 first responders from eight Wiregrass-area law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and emergency management agencies participated in hands-on electrical safety demonstrations.
During the training, Alabama Power line workers showed the dangers associated with overhead and underground electrical lines. First responders learned about the risks of pulling a meter during a house fire, how to respond to downed power lines, and how to approach hazardous electrical situations safely.
The Safe-T-Zone event is designed to help emergency personnel better understand how to stay safe when electricity is involved in emergency scenes.
