Southern Pine places great emphasis on safety, whether it is our employees' or our members' safety. Our employees are well-trained in emergency procedures. We have gathered safety information that we think will be of value to our membership and you will find a number of those safety reminders below.
What to do in the event of an electrical fire:
If you have an electrical fire, make sure everyone leaves the house. If the fire is small, call 911 right away. If you are confident that you may be able to extinguish the fire without the assistance of professional help, you may want to read the following guidelines:
Each home needs a Class C fire extinguisher on hand to help secure their family and home from unforeseen accidents that occur from time to time. If the fire is contained to a small appliance, you may want to carefully unplug the appliance or turn off the electricity, but don't touch the appliance. Never put water on an electrical fire. If the fire has affected your service entrance wiring or your meter, call Southern Pine as soon as possible so that we can make any necessary repairs. Please contact your local office of Southern Pine or call the Brewton headquarters at 251.867.5415.
