Reply #16: Well I've lived in Mich all my life

[notadmblnd]

(only worked in Detroit) and the power companies have always trimmed our trees near power lines. Once it was contracted out to another corporation, it became hit or miss. I live in a wooded area here in Waterford and I haven't seen them come around this year to trim trees, but I've trimmed my own this year. Also, you are mistaken about wild fires in Michigan. There are a lot of state and national forests in northern Mich and we've had wild fires in the state quite often. Now the homes in the cities catching fire from down wires is a new phenomenon, usually only happens during storms. But it has been windy the past few days:shrug:
