WEC line crews have noticed instances in which people who are not WEC employees or contractors have cut trees off power lines during an outage, including at least one case where the line was still live. Please do not approach down utility lines or attempt to cut or remove a tree that is on a line, as they can both be energized during an outage, even, in certain circumstances, when they are on the ground. Doing so is very dangerous and places not only the person approaching the lines at risk but potentially others as well.
