    Great to see ECUA get some recognition for participating in the mutual aid system! Back in 2005, I was part of an ECUA team that went to Plantation, FL to help after Hurricane Wilma. It was long hours and hard, but very rewarding work.

    Be careful, fellas! You’ve got 10 fingers and 10 toes, bring ‘em all home!
