WAKEFIELD — American Public Power Association mutual aid crews from Massachusetts and other New England states headed to Florida to provide mutual aid to the municipal light departments who may need assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
Approximately 50 lineworkers representing Northeast Public Power Association member utilities, including the Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department, left early Tuesday morning for Jacksonville, Florida where they will join in the restoration efforts.
Mutual aid has been an asset when a storm hits as reciprocal aid is given – another advantage of Public Power!
