Safe-T-Zone is Alabama Power’s high voltage safety program designed for first responders in our service territory. Our custom-built trailer uses 14,400 volts of electricity. We demonstrate hazardous scenarios, using both primary and secondary voltage to show the potential dangers of overhead and underground power lines.
Alabama Power line workers explain things like the consequences of pulling a meter at a house fire, what to do when encountering downed lines, and how to handle unsafe situations. This information is crucial for police officers, firefighters, and volunteer firefighters because they are typically the first to arrive at an emergency situation. The program is presented outside and concludes with a Q&A session with licensed and experienced line workers.
