SaskPower is beginning to help residents fix their damaged meter boxes and prevent house fires.
 
With this scorching heat Saskatchewan has experienced this summer, the ground can often settles. It has become familiar to places like Regina to have ground settle and cables from home owners power boxes shift. If the cables from a power box have shifted it can be the cause of a house fire. According to SaskPower, older homes with smaller power boxes and copper wire pose a threat.
 
Homeowners are encouraged to check their meter boxes to see if they are tilting, if so it could mean that the cables have shifted. If residents notice any danger they are able to call SaskPower. SaskPower will then dispatch an inspections crew and perform any necessary repairs.
