Is that even possible? Random crap hit power lines everyday.
I’ve put out several fires that started due to an object making contact with a power line. Pretty common. The only reason I was able to get them out was I happened to be driving by within seconds to minutes of it occurring, and I had my fire rig on the trailer. Otherwise, they could’ve resulted in similar results.

Releasing balloons is such a dumb and frankly trashy behavior.
