When disaster strikes, reliable fueling is the difference between chaos and resilience. As Hurricanes Helene and Milton swept through Sarasota, Florida, they left a trail of power outages, flooded streets, and uncertainty in their wake. For businesses like Food Lion, keeping their doors open meant keeping their backup generators running—because in times of crisis, access to food and essentials is more than just convenience; it’s a necessity.
Emergency Fueling in Sarasota When It Mattered Most
As soon as the storm’s impact became clear, Hart Fueling mobilized to provide emergency fuel deliveries to the Sarasota Food Lion, which had lost power but relied on backup generators to keep operations going. With perishable food, frozen goods, and critical supplies at risk, the store needed a steady, uninterrupted fuel supply until power was fully restored.
Using one of Thunder Creek’s fuel trailers, our team was able to transport and deliver fuel quickly and efficiently—navigating storm-damaged roads to ensure the store had the resources it needed to serve the community.
Fueling More Than Just Generators
At Hart, we understand that disaster response isn’t just about delivering fuel—it’s about delivering peace of mind. Our emergency fueling services ensured that Sarasota residents could rely on their local Food Lion for essential groceries, even as power outages affected the region.
From first responders to families preparing for uncertain days ahead, keeping businesses powered means keeping communities strong. And when the next storm comes, Hart Fueling will be ready—because reliability is what we deliver.
