As part of Lineman's Appreciation Month and a community outreach, Georgia Power linemen went out to share the line trade with elementary school students. Kids got up close and personal with bucket trucks, tool and PPE. The linemen shared tips on electrical safety as well, and maybe inspired a future lineworker. All photos courtesy of Georgia Power.
