With harvest upon us, Saskpower is reminding residents to be mindful of power lines.

Modern farm machinery has progressively become larger in size throughout time. With larger machinery, it is important to be aware of power lines around your farm yard.

Larry Christie, media spokesperson for Saskpower explains that if you do come into contact with a powerline while operating farm machinery, it is important not to remove yourself from the vehicle, but rather to call for help and get the power line disconnected.

Last weekend in Saskatchewan, there was one fatality and two serious injuries due to power line contact.
