As one firefighter I hope you find that is bad advice. Any fire service personnel That would help you bypass the security looks on a utility installation need to have their annual medical moved up with a request for a psych evaluation.

Determine whether you can take the meter off its installation. You can remove the entire meter if it is covered by a straightforward seal.

On the other hand, those protected by thick rings or specific locking enclosures prevent removal without seriously harming the meter or providing a risk of fire, electrocution, or shock. The best course of action for these is to get in touch with your local utility.

So that's what that red stuff is!

One step at a time.
