DTE Energy offers kite, model plane safety tips

April 27th, 2010

As fair spring weather brings out kite and radio-controlled model airplane flying, DTE Energy Co. offers these safety tips:

— Select a level and open space away from utility poles and overhead power lines.

— Don&apos;t try to remove a kite or other object that becomes lodged on a utility pole or tangled in the wires. If you&apos;re within DTE&apos;s service area (southeastern Lower Michigan and the Thumb), call 800-477-4747 to report the location.

— Don&apos;t fly kites in threatening weather. If a kite is hit by lightning, wet string can conduct electricity. Use strong, dry cord for kite string.

— Don&apos;t use kites containing metal or wire parts such as cotton-wrapped wire string. Wire and string contacting electrical equipment will conduct electricity. Use lightweight wood for kite frames.
