  • Pikes PeakColorado Springs Utilities used a contracted helicopter to carry replacement poles from a pull-off along Pikes Peak Highway to the installation sites.

    Colorado Springs Utilities used a contracted helicopter to carry replacement poles from a pull-off along Pikes Peak Highway to the installation sites. The poles serve a circuit that powers the Pikes Peak Visitor Center and the U.S. Army High Altitude Research Laboratory, and many of the old ones had been in service since about 1980. Line superintendent Shaun Dillon called it "one of our highest wildfire-risk circuits and one of the most difficult for crews to access."
