When power goes out, every minute counts. Outages don’t just darken homes and businesses — they can interrupt critical communications, delay emergency response, and leave families cut off from one another. That’s why Hart Fueling responds fast when infrastructure is at risk. Recently, our team answered the call in Colorado Springs to keep a cell tower’s backup generator running during a widespread power outage — and the result was uninterrupted service when the community needed it most.
Cell Tower Generator Refueling in Colorado Springs
A significant power outage in Colorado Springs, CO put multiple services at risk, including cellular infrastructure. One tower’s automatic switch had engaged its backup generator, but the outage lasted longer than the generator’s fuel reserves could support. With cell service threatened, local residents and first responders risked losing a key communications link.
Luckily, the Hart team was able to arrive onsite to refuel their generator before it got too low. We completed the job efficiently while respecting site safety protocols and any access limits the location required. The tower’s generator continued running, preserving cellular service for the surrounding area.
Fueling Generators in Tight Spaces
Not every fuel delivery is a straight shot to a pump. Communications sites — especially those on towers, in fenced compounds, or located on steep or restricted terrain — can be tight and hard to reach. Hart Fueling is equipped and trained for those challenges thanks to our:
- Specialized fuel delivery truck upfits and trailers for confined or difficult sites
- Trained technicians experienced in working around communications equipment and generators
- Procedures for safe, precise on-site refueling to minimize downtime and eliminate spill risks
- Rapid-response logistics so we can reach high-priority sites during emergencies
Keep Your Backup Systems Fueled with Proactive Planning
Emergency refueling is sometimes reactive — like in this Colorado Springs outage — but it doesn’t have to be. Hart offers a Priority Response Program that guarantees rapid fueling support during outages and emergencies so our customers can reduce risk before the lights go out.
