What happens next

Make it safe first. Establish the permanent repair second.

Emergency response is the beginning of a clear repair path—not a substitute for the permanent work that may follow.

01

Call first

Describe what you can safely observe. Do not touch damaged equipment or attempt energized electrical work.

02

Life safety first

If there is fire, smoke, injury or immediate danger, leave the area and call 911 before calling an electrical contractor.

03

Stabilize, then plan

The first priority is a safe condition. PTX will outline the permanent repair or restoration scope that follows.

Urgent concern

Call PTX directly.

Telephone is the fastest way to explain what is happening and whether there is a current safety risk.
