We were in the studio with William Wilfong and his wife Hillary to talk about his typical day as an REC lineman & the impact it has on his family. We talked about his day during storm outages versus a typical spring day; the things he loves about his job, his schedule and even learned what causes the most non-storm related outages. Hillary gave us some insight into their family life; what stresses her out about his job; and she told us about his answer to “How was your day?”

REC STORIES

Following a severe thunderstorm on Tuesday, May 4th, power has been restored to all except just over 500 as of 9 a.m. Wednesday, May 5th.
The pandemic provided many of us a chance to step back and gain a new perspective.
Trees are the top cause of power outages, and REC robust vegetation management team works to keep that number as low as possible.
