American Tradesperson Series
Mechanical Hub is excited and proud to launch its American Tradesperson Series, a 6-episode docuseries featuring the men and women of the trades. The premiere episode, “After the Fires,” takes viewers to Pacific Palisades and Altadena, California, where devastating fires in January 2025 left lasting impacts on homes, businesses and communities. The episode follows tradespeople on the front lines of recovery—rebuilding infrastructure, restoring essential services and helping families and neighborhoods move forward. It highlights not only the technical expertise required in disaster recovery, but also the human commitment behind the work. You can check that out on the Mechanical Hub YouTube page.
