Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) member, Paul Robbins moves fallen tree branches so they may be picked-up by other members of his Department of Transportation crew. CSEA members answered the call in four Western New York counties when a freak October storm ripped down trees and knocked out power to almost 400,000 households. Impassable streets needed to be cleared and fallen trees removed so utility crews could come in and restore power and heat to residents.
