We love this! Good job, guys!We exist to serve our members, no matter the circumstances. Pictured from left to right, Lead Lineman Brandon Long and Linemen 2nd Class P.J. Jarvis and Jordan Jack, all of the Augusta District, found a member who had fallen in her yard on April 30. The member says she laid there several hours, unable to get anyone's attention. Responding to an outage, Long's crew spotted her. Brandon lifted her and assisted her to her porch, no major injuries from the situation reported. "Somebody’s hollerin’ for help," Brandon says, "you’re going to help them." We know you aren't looking for recognition, but we applaud your act of kindness, Brandon, P.J. and Jordan!
