KUA Crews Head to Georgia to Assist with Power Restoration

Kissimmee Utility Authority crews deployed to Oxford, Georgia this morning to assist with restoring power due to impending severe weather from Winter Storm Fern. The crews departed Kissimmee just after 6:00 a.m.

As part of KUA’s mutual-aid agreement with utilities across the nation, the utility sent 12 linemen, a mechanic, and a convoy of vehicles to Oxford to assist with anticipated power outages as the major winter storm system is expected to stretch across more than 2,000 miles and is projected to impact over 200 million people with severe snow and ice beginning Friday.

The crews who traveled from KUA include Luis Santiago, Willie Simmons, Kevon McKinsey, Danny Kelly, Karl Glass, Chad Acree, Amaurys Gonzalez, Chase Fuller, Gage Howard, Steffon Radcliff, Parker Wells, Kyle Memis, and Martin Nielsen.
