Don't shoot!
Many utilities, sometimes even HWE, have a number of outages each year which are caused by people shooting at power equipment like line insulators, utility poles, transmission towers and transformers. In many, if not all, areas, shooting at power facilities is vandalism -- a crime punishable by fines and/or jail sentences. Shooting at power equipment is also very dangerous. Not only can someone be injured by the gunshot, but the resulting power outages present risks to HWE personnel who must repair the damage and to the members who may depend on the power for life support equipment. So please, do not shoot at the power equipment. It is illegal, it is senseless and it is risky.
