FLAGSTAFF, AZ — Lineworkers with Arizona Public Service (APS) are heading to Florida in the wake of Hurricane Milton, which left millions of people without power.
A caravan of APS bucket trucks will leave Flagstaff Thursday morning to make the journey across the country to assist.
Milton made landfall in Florida late Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane, knocking out power to nearly three million people by Thursday morning.
APS is part of a "national mutual assistance network" that offers a support system when electric companies nationwide are forced to deal with natural disasters that create widespread damage.
