Most of you have no doubt heard that there were a lot of trees down here in New Jersey and in other regions impacted by Superstorm Sandy. When trees come down and bring down electric wires with them, tree crews that specialize in doing utility work have to come in before the utility crews can restring the electric wires.
Yesterday morning, one of these tree crews from
Asplundh were doing some work on my street. In this case, they were coming through my street after having already cleared out trees that were entangled in wires. Specifically, they were trimming trees along the electric line. I was glad to see them do this work.
As it was easy for me to do, I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of this crew, from West Virginia, doing there work. In the preceding two weeks, I saw many Asplundh trucks in my town and adjoining towns clearing trees.
I start out this series of photographs with some photos on a street near me where there were a large number of trees entangled with wires. Asplundh came through last Thursday and Friday to clear out the trees from the wires in advance to the utility restoring power on that street Saturday night an Sunday. I took these photos of piles of cut trees yesterday morning. Imagine, if you will, these same trees entangled with wires. It was a mess.
Following the photos of the cut trees you will see some photos of the Asplundh bucket trucks. Thanks to my friends from Asplundh for helping us out.
