A 4-year-old girl who fell into the Coosa River while feeding ducks, and her family, can thank four teammates from an Alabama Power line crew for saving her, her father and older brother from a potential catastrophe. The family had come up from Florida to escape Hurricane Ian when the girl fell off a pier near Alabama Power’s Lay Dam.
