The tree-trimming tool is suspended beneath a helicopter by a vertical boom that has multiple motor power saw blades attached. Aerial side trimming is quick, safe and provides at least a 10-foot clearance of the right-of-way areas. The helicopter will fly at an average speed of 5 mph at tree-top heights while working.<\/p>\n<p>Trees are an important part of the environment, and I&amp;M is committed to balancing the importance of trees with the equally important need to deliver electricity safely and reliably. Customers with questions should contact I&amp;M by calling 1-800-311-4634 or visiting the web at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.IndianaMichiganPower.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IndianaMichiganPower.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/92352.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces the City won&#039;t renew the Light Lease with Indiana Michigan Power.
