-
A photograph of an Altec employee working on utility lines after the Ringgold fire. The face and arms of the worker are seen, and the worker wears gloves, safety glasses, and a helmet. Branches without leaves partially obscure the image. On January 1, 2006, the Texas town of Ringgold was devastated in a fire that forced thousands of people to evacuate several towns in North Texas. Around 32 houses were destroyed in Ringgold, a ranching town of about 250 people.
