many outer suburban areas worldwide have "joint poles" which are shared between telecoms and mains electricity distribution, and with increasing use of ABC (aerial bundled conductor) insulated cable for mains rather than bare overhead wires its hard to tell them apart from telecoms (especially overhead fibre in shielded outer housing) unless you have specialist knowledge.

Advice here in UK is to treat all downed cables as potentially live, call 999 / 112 and the Fire Brigade will deal with it..
