Excited by the arrival of 138 electricity poles to their town, residents of St. Raphael, a commune in the Northern Department, emptied the truck themselves instead of waiting for a crew to come do it on Saturday. 

“Wow,” tweeted Evenson Calixte on Sunday, a specialist in electrical energy. “The residents didn’t wait for the crane to arrive this morning. They took the poles out by hand.”

The poles will be used to build a network between the new power station in St. Raphael and the old one.
