"Trees and vegetation are a leading cause of outages - especially during hurricanes and severe weather", stated FPL's North Florida Arborist, Steve Burnside. "FPL would like to remind everyone to stay away from power lines at all times and that only a specially trained and qualified line-clearing professional should trim trees or vegetation near power lines and power poles".
Please visit fpl.com/trees to learn more about power line safety and FPL's line-clearing program.
For questions, please contact Mr. Burnside at (386) 254-2358 or via email at steve.burnside@fpl.com.
