Fairhope, Alabama
NO THREAT TO GENERAL PUBLIC
The Times has obtained the accident report submitted by Electric Superintendent Scott Sligh. Sligh says he does not have the manpower to immediately replace all of the thousands of wooden braces that are suspected of causing the accident, but will do so as the opportunity arises.
Sligh says the braces pose no threat to the general public; but need to be considered when doing future maintenance work.
Sligh: "The cross arms are so high that they would not hit the ground or come close to the general public, even if one broke right now."
Sligh: "We will not seek to replace all such braces as there are thousands of them. Literally. As we have occasion to be working in an area due to new business, we will replace arms and poles as necessary or we will go underground."
