Bakersville, N.C. (Nov. 27, 2024) — Liberty-based business, Euliss Propane Company, recently partnered with Young’s Fuel Service to reset 16 residential propane tanks after Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on the Bakersville community. Euliss employees Jonathan Mitchell and Seth Smith, with over 30 years of experience in the propane industry, were dispatched, and top-notch safety standards were employed throughout the project.
Owner and vice president Chris Stanley stated, “We were devastated by the impact Hurricane Helene had on western North Carolina. When Stan Young contacted SEPA [Southeast Propane Alliance] for assistance, Euliss welcomed the opportunity to bring our specific skillset to help those hardest hit in Bakersville.”
Navigating Treacherous Roads to Power Area Homes
Euliss employees traveled 187 miles and developed a strategic plan to assist as many homeowners as possible. They encountered community members living in tents and witnessed the strong support systems that have developed to ensure area residents have food and fresh water to drink. Stanley encouraged everyone to “remember these communities as temperatures start to drop and send support their way as we enter this season of Thanksgiving.”
