The Crown corporation reminds people that should anyone come across a downed power line or any damaged power infrastructure, it’s "critical" to remain back a safe distance of at least 10 metres and call the outage centre at 310-2220 or 911.
"There’s no way of knowing if a downed line is energized, so maintaining that safe distance is vital," SaskPower said.
