Monday, CREC sent a five-man construction crew to Harmon Electric Cooperative in Hollis, Okla., to help restore power. HEC’s system was devastated by the recent storm, causing damage to their entire system including more than three thousand broken poles.

“We were very fortunate to have sustained minimal damage from the recent ice storm,” said David Swank, chief executive officer of CREC, “and are glad to be able to help our fellow cooperatives in their time of need.”
