Doh!

I was called out on a spill involving 3 poles and 7 transformers today. If you look closely at the truck you can see that he took out a drop line which then brought down the poles.


The owner of this car should consider themselves to be pretty lucky. I am very amused by the safety slogan on the truck. Might want to consider changing it to look around before driving. See the oil on the pavement from the transformers?

A shot of the alley and 2 of the downed poles. All the water in the alley also had transformer oil in it.

3 transformers surrounded by oil dry.

Putting out 2 plus skids of oil dry. This will then be brushed around by a skid driver with a broom.

It was really stinkin' cold out there and the poor line guys will be out until late this evening resetting three poles, hanging 7 transformers, and all the other utility lines before they get to go home.
