When a fellow lineman needs help, every second matters.

At Broad River Electric, our linemen train for situations they hope they'll never face. Each year, crews practice hurt man rescue techniques from bucket trucks and the tops of power poles, preparing to respond quickly and safely if a coworker is ever injured on the job.

These exercises are about more than learning the right procedures. They're about trusting the person working beside you, looking out for one another and making sure everyone has the best chance of returning home safely to their loved ones.

In this video, Broad River Electric Chief Operating Officer Cary Johnson and Lineman Gerald Gregory share why this hands-on training is so important to our crews.

Because at the end of the day, nothing matters more than getting everyone home safely.

🛻 Big trucks. Big questions. Maybe even a few future linemen!

Broad River Electric Foreman Cam Smith made a special stop at Woodruff Elementary School last week for the school's Vehicle Career Day.

Students got an up-close look inside one of our bucket trucks, asked questions and learned more about what it takes to work for an electric cooperative. ⚡

We love opportunities like this to connect with local students, share what our crews do every day and maybe even inspire a few future careers in the electric utility industry!

“Keeping the lights on is our job, but being a good neighbor is part of who we are.”

Those words from Broad River Electric President & CEO Chad Armstrong reflect what being an electric cooperative is all about.

From members giving a few extra cents each month through Operation Round Up to employees volunteering their time at local events, caring for our neighbors is something we believe in all year long.

As the holiday season approaches, we're especially grateful for the generosity of our members and employees who help make a difference across Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union counties.

Because at Broad River Electric, community isn't just where we work. It's home.

💡 Meeting members where they are.

Sometimes, the best way to serve our members is to get out of the office and meet them right where they work!

Last week, Broad River Electric Billing Representatives Hailey Sprouse and Jayden Holland visited Draexlmaier Automotive in Duncan, SC, for the company's sustainability event.

Employees who are also Broad River Electric members had the opportunity to ask questions, review their electric bills and learn more about peak-hour energy use and ways to better manage their electricity costs.

A big thank you to Draexlmaier for inviting us! Opportunities like this help us build stronger relationships with our members while putting our Cooperative Principles into practice.

⚠️ See a downed power line? Stay back and stay safe.

Whether caused by severe weather, fallen trees or an accident, downed power lines can pose a serious danger to anyone nearby.

Always assume a downed power line is live, even if it's not sparking or making noise. Never touch it or anything it may be in contact with, and keep children and pets a safe distance away.

If you spot a downed line, stay far away and report it to Broad River Electric immediately.
