Safety first

• Never touch downed power lines because they might be energized. Stay at least 35 feet away from any downed line and call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
• Do not use charcoal or a gas grill to cook indoors.
  Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating source.
  This can cause a buildup of poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
• If you choose to use a portable home generator, read the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of the generator.
  Do not operate generators indoors or in enclosed spaces to avoid the buildup of carbon monoxide.
• If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials
• Always use flashlights instead of candles.

If you are without power, remember:

• Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating or cooking source.
• If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.
• Always use flashlights instead of candles.
