Brunswick is sweet! I’ve lived in Maine my whole life and after I needed to move from Windham , Brunswick surprisingly was the only place that had an available apartment.

I think that’s valid? Why not try to connect better with people around you?

Sounds like it was a communication wire. CMP doesn’t take care of those, but would’ve taken a tree of if it threatened the power lines

I’d say good timing or good coordination with the telecom guys. We don’t touch internet or phone equipment

I work for CMP, so I’m in my home district. We have crews from all over. In my district we have tons of crews from Canada helping out

Yup! So in an “emergency” we are allowed to work 24 hours for the first day, followed by 7 hours of rest. After that we work 17 hour days and have 7 hours of rest until everybody has power. It’s government mandated. Canada works 16 on, 8 off I believe.
