Hahahahaha A fault in a light pole cannot cause a power outage in homes because there is no connection between the electrical systems and the handling of faults in the electric poles is the sole responsibility of the local authority.
And not the electric company
just saying.
In Vardia the electric wires are underground and in most of the old and prestigious Carmel neighborhoods there are still high voltage electric poles in the streets.
Why does the municipality of Haifa from the property tax, one of the three most expensive in Israel, not make a plan in all the Carmel neighborhoods to sink the electric wires and make only light poles.
The electricity pylons obstruct the sidewalks, dangerous, ugly. In all Israeli cities except Haifa, the municipalities and the electricity company are working to lower electrical wires under the sidewalks and remove old poles and install beautiful street lights. Why isn't the Haifa municipality acting on the issue??
Even in the USA there is no money to lower the power cables underground.
A black road is not something "beautiful" either, we got used to it.
Isn't it dangerous to put out an electrical fire with a water hose?
And if the fire fighters have knowledge... shouldn't we write a warning and clarification for the children watching?
