ENHANCEMENT IN ACTION
DOWNED POWER LINES
A 26 year old mother of two loved her children, so it was no surprise to
friends and relatives that she rushed to check on them after she crashed
into a power pole. What her friends don’t understand is that as she tried
to get her small children out of the back seat, she came into
contact with a power line and died.
“You hit a pole. Your family is OK. You’re OK. You get out of the car
and you are alive. You step on the power line and then it’s over”.
Witnesses told police the line was arcing and they heard a small
explosion. By the time police arrived, she was unresponsive. She was
pronounced dead at the hospital. In a sense it was just a fender-bender. The car wasn’t totaled.
Friends and family gathered at her home to remember the young mother whom they recalled as being
a happy person and a happy new mom. According to friends and family, she had a good spirit. She
made people happy. She made people smile. She was the one to be herself no matter what. She just
left home and said “Mom, I love you. See you later”.
Downed power lines can happen during any time of the year – not just during the winter with snow,
ice and inclement weather. Power lines might be damaged and lying on the ground. We are advised to
follow some basic safety tips.
• If you find a downed power line, stay away and keep others away as
well. Call KCP&L toll free at (888) 544-4852 to report it.
• Observe downed wires from a safe distance of at least (10) feet.
• Be watchful for fallen lines that have contacted metal fences, backyard gym sets and other structures. If
a power line has come down on a metal fence, even a connecting fence
several yards away can be energized. The slightest touch can injure or even kill.
• If a power line falls on your vehicle, stay in your vehicle. Use your cell phone to call for help or wait for
help to arrive. Never move downed wires blocking vehicle access, and never drive across downed
wires.
• If you must leave your vehicle, jump clear to avoid being in contact with the car and the ground at the
same time. Then move slowly away from the car, dragging your feet to keep them both in contact
with the ground at all times.
• Stay away from wet or flooded areas if water is in contact with electrical outlets, appliances, lamps or
power cords. Not even rubber boots can guarantee protection from severe shock.
To report outages, flickering lights, lines down or other damage-related power problems,
call (888) 544-4852.
COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTER
Late spring and early summer months are times of rain, storms, heavy winds, tornados, damage to property, and in many cases personal injury and loss of life.
To continue providing life-saving blood to our city, communities and surrounding states, the Community
Blood Center of Greater Kansas City (blood bank) is asking all eligible blood contributors to come out and donate their life-saving blood. Supplies are running low, and your donation will be greatly appreciated.
The Community Blood Center is the primary provider of life-saving blood, platelets and plasma to 70 area
hospitals in Missouri and nearby states. Donors may make an appointment at any Community Blood Center
location, including 4040 Main Street, or find a mobile blood drive at www.savealifenow.org, or by calling
(816) 753-4040.
If you’ve thought about giving blood in the past, now is the time to do your part and join others in their efforts to save lives. Thank you.
•Trash Tires & Graffiti
Our Truman Road corridor and neighboring areas continue to have large amounts of trash, tires and “bulk”
items deposited by violators. In March we gathered 314 bags of trash, 63 tires, and approximately 600 pounds
of “bulk” items.
Your TRCID workers pick up and haul away trash, tires and bulk. The city then disposes of these. Vandalism, graffiti and trash dumping continue to be a problem.
We will continue to keep our part of the city clean and presentable. If you see or know of someone who
violates the city’s dumping ordinance PLEASE call (913) 908-4941 days or KCMO Police East Patrol (816)
234-5530 anytime. Thank you.
