On the night of July 14th Wintergreen Fire and Rescue experienced a power outage on the mountain and our station generator failed. We accidentally summoned not one, but two electrical firms for the after-hour repair. What happens when two pro electricians who have never met one another show up at the same time, to do the same repair? They introduce themselves to one another and then work together to resolve the problem. One gentleman explained that he had to leave his family at a fair in Rockingham County when he received our call. The other gentleman actually had his young daughter in tow. She eventually got bored and fell asleep in the truck. People often praise us for our quick responses and our willingness to leave our families when duty calls. Thank you. The same praise should be extended to all of the dedicated folks who help us with logistics. We operate out of 3 stations 24/7/365. The only way to accomplish this is with a very strong support network. If you're looking for a great electrical firm give either of them a call: Bruce Ward Electric (434-981-2912) and The Power Connection (540-574-0177).
