Our experienced linemen will join forces with other cooperative crews, working around the clock to bring electricity back to the affected communities as quickly and safely as possible.
The BEC crew includes:
- Mike Satsky, Lineman First Class
- Treyton Prickett, Apprentice Lineman II
- Tristian Swearingen, Apprentice Lineman II
- Jaleel Altakrouri, Lineman First Class
