YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - FirstEnergy wants people to know if they see helicopters flying low over the Valley, there's nothing to worry about.
Spokesperson Neil Durbin tells 21 News that the utility is using helicopters to get close to power lines for inspection.
Durbin says if crews see a problem they'll take pictures and send workers up to make repairs.
He expects the helicopter to be in Eastern Ohio through the rest of the week.
FirstEnergy conducts such inspections twice a year.
