Keeping The Power On – It’s National Lineman Appreciation Day
April 12, 2021
Today is Lineman Appreciation Day.
“Today, Escambia River Electric Cooperative honors the dedicated men and women who often work in challenging and dangerous conditions to keep the lights on. We proudly recognize all lineworkers for the services they perform
around the clock to keep power flowing and protect the public’s safety,” said Escambia River Electric Cooperative spokesperson Sabrina Owens. “A career as a lineman is not for everyone. But most of those who have chosen this line
of work could not see themselves doing anything else. It’s hard work, requires commitment and sacrifice, but creates a brotherhood bond like no other.”

EREC is the best!!! The linemen are terrific.I know the hours they sometimes have to keep and they need to know how much they are appreciated!! There are times when they don’t know what a good night’s sleep is.So thank you to all the Linemen,this is your day!!!
Linesmen and women………..I appreciate you so very much. Thank you for the work you do.
Thank You for all your hard work! I know you encounter some dangerous situations at times, so stay safe out there.
After Ivan, my power was out 15 days in Molino and after Sally 4 days in our new house in the area of Kingsfield Rd and Hwy 297A . What a big difference!
We moved from Molino several years ago due to the trains parking on the tracks in Cantonment for several hours.
YEA!!! For all the great hardworking folks who help keep our lights on.
It actually April 18 but maybe they are celebrating the whole week. Thanks linemen! You’ve kept me employed…
Thank you Linemen for doing excellent jobs keeping the power on and braving bad weather to fix lines after storms. Power was out after Hurricane Sally for 4 days which beats the time after Ivan when we were out for 6 days. Cheers!
Thank you Linemen
