Fires, flooding and flight cancellations as wild weather hits NZ

Power pole fires are dangerous — and can escalate in seconds. Live wires, falling poles, and sudden transformer explosions put everyone at risk. That’s why we sometimes block traffic and set up wide safety zones — to keep the public and our crews safe. High-voltage lines can carry thousands of volts, and even a single exposed wire can be deadly. If you see something like this, stay well back and call 911. #hfxfirefighters #electricalfire | Halifax Professional Fire Fighters

Pole fires are a common cause of electrical outages in the spring. Grime on insulators combined with light snow or rain can create a pathway for electricity to travel from the power line to the wood pole causing a fire and an extended power outage. This footage was filmed by a customer just outside Winnipeg a few years ago. More info here: www.hydro.mb.ca/outages/pole_fires/ | Manitoba Hydro
