Saved By The Lines

Wildfires have become a common thing in certain parts of the United States. These natural disasters leave a trail of evidence in their wake, like this partially burned-down electric pole. The pole remained barely hung up by the connecting wires on it. How this happened remains a mystery, as the person who posted it didn’t give much info.

Not much of the area’s power supply would be constant if the electricity pole wasn’t replaced immediately. The people were lucky that the flame didn’t get higher, or else that would have been a real disaster. Incidents like these facilitated power companies’ switching to concrete electricity poles.
