- Hey Everyone!
The footage on this video is a bit chopped up, but a great example of how we respond to house fires.
Some upcoming videos will include coverage of the Milwaukee Pipeline event and a job we did last week installing poles using a hydrovac!
Be safe out there everyone! 👊🍻

Keep in mind my videos are to be used as guidelines only!
There are many different ways to preform the tasks shown in this videos.
Always adhere to your own company's policies and procedures.
This work should only be preformed only by those whom are both trained and authorized to do so! ***
Huge thanks to my Patreons! 👊👊

I'd like to thank you for your content because as of last week I am officially enrolled in a lineman training course and will hopefully start my apprenticeship here in Austin TX at the start of 2024!
The worst part of on-call call outs is those first few minutes when you're desperately trying to get your darn brain to engage.
Don't blame you for doing what you did and anyone irritated about a couple hour outage so the FD can safely put the fire out can go trade places with the family that lost their home.
Thank you to the lineman that come and cut the power to make sure we are safe. As well as the gas line folks. Makes the fire scenes flow so much better, when we have less to worry about!
As a former ff/paramedic…you guys were definitely viewed as first responders too…I went into ED/Trauma nursing…then got my nurse practitioner…running around out there is a kids game or for those more fit…:-D not for old guys like me…but mad respect for you and all the line guys and yes I include the line ladies too…😁😁😁 thanks for sharing your calls with us…
You are indeed, a first responder. Thank you for doing what you do.
Those are rough calls. It's good to hear everyone was safe. Prayers for the family in that home. Please stay safe, and God bless.
It’s especially difficult to think clearly when you get a callout like that in the middle of night along with the distraction the fire presents. Bob is an outstanding employee and a valuable asset to this utility company.
Good timing. 10 minutes before this video dropped, we (coastal Maine) had a lights-flicker and a half second later a BOOM! A car hit a pole transformer? Half-second acoustic delay suggests 2000 feet, so a near neighbor? Trotted to the street but no sign of trouble. If it was "just" a transformer explosion, here it would be only a couple properties and with us all on 'smart' meters the company would know real quick.🖥
If I got it right, you killed the sideline for the street, so you had extra safety to work and inspect for damage. After all it's the middle of the night and only for a few hours. After narrowing it down to the immediate area and waiting for that ladder truck to clear you powered up the sideline again. BTW, nice job prepping up the triplex for siding work while you are there. It was a good game plan!
Love your videos! I'm so grateful for you taking the time to educate and inform us!
Thanks again Aaron for another great video. Your hard work and effort doesn't go unnoticed
Learned a lot from your videos, recommend your channel to some linemen upgrading the poles here in Florida. They were nice enough to let me have some old ceramic insulators and cutouts. Nice group of guys!!!
Here in U.K., utilities have a Priority Services Register listing people who would be particularly vulnerable to an outage (vital home medical equipment or vulnerable to loss of heating, for example.
Thanks for your video Aaron. Fire Rescues safety is always most important.
Couldn't be more Canadian, with a hockey stick at
Nice video. As a retired municipal inspector I got involved with many like situations.
Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe and have a good day.
As someone who is just starting off in the trade, I appreciate you and your videos. They are very helpful for me. Is there any other channels you would recommend as well? Im trying to learn as much as i can
Good job Aaron.
