.

We had a lightning caused fire June 22nd.  We finally had everything restored July 31. 
We had to set up a generator to feed a small community near the Cal. border. 
The repeaters on top of the mountain were also on smaller generators. 
We replaced 82 poles and 8 ½ miles of line.  Shannon Skinner was one of the crews. 
 It was mostly ex contractors now working for NPC who had the experience that I
choose to work this restoration.  It was also setting record temps, and demands, 
back in LV while this was going on.  Drop me a line or call if you want more or different info.
