A tractor was destroyed by fire after running into a power pole over the weekend near Outlook, Saskatchewan.
The tractor operator survived the crash.
SaskPower said people should stay in vehicles that are in contact with a powerline.
If the vehicle is on fire, people should:
– Make sure no wires are in your way.
– Stand in doorway, cross arms, put feet together.
– Jump as far as possible, land with feet together.
– Do not touch the vehicle.
– Keep arms crossed, feet together, and hop at least 10 metres to safety.
