PPEC is warning the general public to never attempt to climb poles or go over a fence to enter into a substation.
\nThe warning comes after hearing the \u201cPokemon Go\u201d game, has players drive to different locations to catch Pokemon. Online threads suggest there is an electric type of Pokemon being caught near substations and transformers.

\nIf someone sees activity where a person is trying to get into a substation or climb one of our electrical poles, you are encouraged to call 9-1-1 first and then our office at 1-800-686-2357.
