RFC has responded to several calls for electrical lines down over the past few days.
If you spot a line down, do not approach it. Even though it may appear to be dead, it could very easily become energized and arc again.
Please treat all lines as energized and dangerous. Stay far away.
Also be aware that electrical lines could energize anything it comes in contact with, including the ground around it, fences, tree limbs, vehicles, etc., the list goes on.
Call 911 right away.
