By 1am it would have been 3days without power for an elderly community on the outskirts of Fitzgerald and not a single utility truck has come out to anyone to assess the situation. Many on Brookhill Drive are running out of food because its just spoiling, people with meds that need to be refrigerated have had to throw out hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of their dire product. No one can get in touch with the main offices to get urgent assistance in trying to get the power outage problem escalated because the office is just simply closed.
