🚗⚡️#CarPoleFriday in El Cajon ⚡️🚗 Why is it always Friday at quitting time when people decide to run into power poles???? We want to give a big shout out to our Eastern Crews from @sdge who just responded to this emergency outage and who are working to safely restore power to our customers impacted. Jobs like these are always dangerous and we appreciate everyone out there working and cutting their weekend short to serve our communities.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers recognizes Lineman Appreciation Day as July 10th, the anniversary of our founding father Henry Miller’s death. IBEW Local 465 would like to proudly recognize the Linemen at both San Diego Gas & Electric and the Imperial Irrigation District for putting it all on the line to keep the lights on everyday! On behalf of the Officers, the Staff, and our 2,900 Proud Union members - THANK YOU! Have you thanked a Lineman today?

⚡️12’ Heavy Cross Arm Change Out⚡️ Thank you to our Transmission Line crews who worked this weekend in Borrego Springs changing out these 12’ Heavy Cross Arms and 69kv porcelain insulators. This challenging job was not accessible with bucket trucks so all the material needed to be carried in and all work was done off the pole. Jobs like these require a lot of coordination and hard work from every member of the crew from the linemen climbing all the way to the groundmen and equipment operators helping building the cross arms and packing materiel in and out of the job site. The added challenge of 100 degree heat and winds makes a job like this even more challenging and dangerous. We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who worked on this job and every member of our Transmission Line Department at @sdge for everything you do to keep the lights on for our 1.4 million customers! Be safe out there! Thank you to everyone on the crew: •Richard “Bitter” Bennet •Jason Mendoza •Greg Santos •Chris Costa •Matt Torres •Brant Davis •Salomon Kaiona •Jeff Hamlin •Domingo Mosqueda #WeAreIBEW465 #Linemen #Lineman #IBEW #UnionLinemen #Transmission #TCMhardBodies @highvoltage_industries @ibewhourpower @sdlaborcouncil @californialabor @ibewio Posted by @ibew465 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWqCxSBNLO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💥Memorial Weekend Car Contact💥 At 4:30am this morning in Mira Mesa a driver crashed into a pad mount switch causing thousands of customers to lose power. Our Electric Troublemen and Fault Finding Specialists responded immediately to make the scene safe alongside first responders on scene. The incident left multiple underground circuits damaged and in need of repair. Close to 20 of our members were called and responded to safely restore power. From our Beach Cities Linemen, Troublemen, traffic control crews, locators, system operators and dispatchers - we want to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who responded on the holiday weekend to this emergency job. Our members constantly work nights, weekends and holidays to maintain the most reliable utility service in the nation.
