This year, there was a new mutual aid portion where two apprentices and one journeyman worked together.
The competition began in 2001 to celebrate the men and women who risk their lives to give power to communities.
“Not only does this annual event give lineworkers a chance to provide the public with a glimpse into their daily work lives, but it is also an opportunity for professional development, recognition and camaraderie,” said Amy Zubaly, FMEA Executive Director.
