Trenton homeowner rigs brace for leaning power pole until DTE repairs it 

Good old Dale. He's never had arc/flash training. Glad he's OK.

That pole was held up by tension. Outages> leaning poles always. Having well over a half a million out with way worse situations I think dale was just fine

As much as they charge for damn power they should've came out immediately!!!!

GOOD JOB DALE. BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES💯

Although we know it will never happen, his insurance company should give him back some money. He potentially saved them a lot of money.

DTE was just embarrassed Dale did a better job.

Lmao there's a leaning pole down the road from me I personally told DTE they need to replace it before it falls over.. they don't care about anything except negative press

He should invoice DTE

Its pretty sad when you have to go on national television to get a broken pole fixed

Good on you Dale!

He did the right thing to protect his home The power companies don’t give a crap if your home burns down

DTE is doing a great job with all the calls they are getting

Its funny how once news stations get involved somebody is out therr Johnny on the Spot. But when you call bo one is there for months

Good ole dale the telephone wires were holding that up, would have been fine another week.

Hire him maybe?

Ok so let's wait tell the man has no house to call home before they would do anything it's a shame that it took the news to report on this matter before they even did there job's glad the man didn't lose his home and thankfully they did come out and fix it before the man lost his home due to there poor judgement on coming out and fixing it right away

Call 911 also next time....

Dangerous move. He's damn lucky!!!!!

D t e , wow!!!!!!!

I don't think that 2 by 4 would do any good at all. It might even attract unwanted attention... Like kids jumping out swinging off of it. Even him being in the line of where the pole might fall might end up hurting him bad. I get it, but not the method I'd employ

Hey, Dale. I was out of power for 4 days. Your limp pole was nothing compared to the carnage out where I’m at. Way to tie up a crew for your own benefit. Take your victory lap, Richard.
