Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative (MLEC) spread the word about electrical safety by offering safety truck demonstrations for students at Aitkin and McGregor schools.

The demo taught a variety of electrical safety habits and demonstrated the power of electricity. It showed the potential hazards associated with unsafe actions around power lines and household circuitry. The presentation vividly showed the effects of contacting 7,200 volts of electricity.

This creative program was designed by Connexus Energy personnel to teach the potential dangers of contacting a power line.
