If a drone is on your child's Christmas wish list, First Energy has some advice about operating the device responsibly.
The electric company has launched an ad campaign geared towards kids about flying drones safely and far away from power lines and electrical equipment.“As you're learning to fly, go to an open field or an open area to get familiarized with your drone and how to fly it before attempting to fly it in congested areas,” said First Energy spokesperson Lauren Siburkis.• Become a licensed pilot [faa.gov] before flying a drone.• Fly your drone at or below 400 feet.
If a drone accidentally flies into a power line or substation, don't try to get it, First Energy officials say. Call them at 1-888-LIGHTSS and let the professionals do it. First Energy teamed up with a game developer to create a drone safety game to teach in a fun and exciting way. Players can customize their drone and race against the clock while avoiding obstacles and obtaining speed boosts. Players must answer a question about best safety practices, which will give them a boost advantage in the race.Watch live and local news any time:
