They are a brotherhood and a family. Essential to the work we do, they are always appreciated!<\/p>\n

Irby Family of Linemen<\/h2>\n

Today and every day, we celebrate our linemen. They truly are the heart of our industry, and the reason for Irby’s success.<\/p>\n

We appreciate the sacrifices our linemen make and their dedication to getting the job done safely.<\/p>\n

Irby’s Linemen are the core of the Irby family. In many cases, they really are family-cousins or brothers. If not bound by name, they are bound by the brotherhood of their work and their mission to keep each other safe. They begin each morning with a commitment to go home safe each night. Nonetheless, the job is a tall order and it \u00a0is hazardous. So we must not only appreciate the linemen themselves but also their families for supporting them in their work at Irby.<\/p>\n

Linemen are never more appreciated than when they restore the normalcy of power following a major storm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This past year held another incredibly active storm season. Irby crews worked a number of winter storms and two named Hurricanes, in 12 states, for 12 customers, with over 210,153 total man-hours.<\/p>\n

Our linemen’s dedication ensured that impacted communities were able to turn their lights back on.<\/p>\n
