It was a busy Sunday evening for TVEC crews after a large tree broke two poles and knocked lines to the ground in the Berryville area north of Frankston. Repairs took longer than expected, but thank you to everyone for your patience on a hot evening while the crews worked to get things back in order. Also a big thanks is due to the first responders who got out there quickly to take care of the grass fire!

Somebody made a goodbye note from a power pole, which is kind of funny… (Also, please don’t put signs on power poles, it can cause real problems for linemen!)
