Which is it, a power pole or a telephone pole? Contact the company that installed it and notify them that you believe that it is misplaced.

Most utility company's lease their poles to the telephone companies so that two sets of poles don't have to be run parallel to each other. This being the case the telephone lines go where the utility lines go.
If on the other hand it is a private telephone pole on private property that the utility company set for you, then the onus is on you to stake the exact placement where you want the pole to go and have someone on site when the digging starts to make sure that the pole is situated where you want it.

∙ 11y agoIt rather depends ! If there was a fault in the distribution network, overloading the wires and causing them to ignite - then you could have a claim against the electric company. If, however, the pole was struck by lightning, causing the same effect - that's classed as an 'act of God' - the electric company would not be at fault.
