or overhead distribution lines snapped under the weight of ice in the Midwest, our
emergency responders are standing-by ready to be on location within 24 to 48 hours.
Once on site, Team Fishel establishes a
command center to act as a liaison
between our Customer and our field
crews. Working closely with our
Customer contacts and local authorities,
the command center coordinates the

Experience matters when crews are assigned to disaster areas. In 2005, Team
Fishel helped restore basic services after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma in
Florida and Louisiana. In 2008, they responded after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike
again struck the southern coast as far west as Texas. In 2007 and 2009, our crews
repaired downed electric lines due to ice storms in Kansas, Indiana, and Kentucky.

reduce our costs and help our customers drive cost out of their business.

meeting sheets are signed by all attendees. Man-
hours worked with and without accidents are also
tracked and copied to the customer.

are of prime importance to Team Fishel and its management team. All of
our Teammates attend regular safety training classes and a competent
person will always be on the job site. Safety is monitored daily by our full-
time safety coordinators with field checks for safety compliance involving
shoring, hard hats, vests, steel plates, and barricades.
