In just a few days, the state pauses to remember our linemen – the brave men and women who often respond in severe weather, putting their lives and families on hold to make sure customers have electricity and life is restored to normal.

Here’s a look at some statistics showing the impact of a lineman’s work and the ground they cover.

Starting with National Lineman Appreciation Day on April 18 through Alabama Lineman Appreciation Day on June 6, Alabama NewsCenter is honoring those men and women in the state.
