Chief 22 communication.
00:02
Yes, sir.
00:04
All right, can you tell if there's going to be power outages in the area from this?
00:09
Oh, yeah.
00:11
I'd say it's from the Redwood Church all the way down to Chatton.
00:20
Okay.
00:21
I was going to call first energy, but evidently it looks like it's already been reported.
00:26
They've got the spot on it about right where that Wesley Church is, the Red Brook Church.
00:33
Yep. They got it.
00:36
All right. I will call, give them the pole number,
00:40
and try to give them an update.
00:43
I know they're probably in storm mode, but see if we'll give you any type of ETA.
00:48
Yeah, they're still in storm mode from what I'm seeing, and they're not going to give me an ETA, but I'll just give me an update on the pole number and stuff.
00:57
Yeah, I'm not sure whether this feeds back 21st Bridge Road or not.
01:02
And I know everything off of Red Rock, I'd say, Pond Hill, Greenland,
01:07
and all of them are out of power, too.
01:10
All right, the outage map has got it all the way, I've got a power outage all the way up through the landfill right now, so I'll just see if I can give an update.
01:18
Chief 22 communications.
01:21
Good, sir.
01:23
All right, do you advise that two of the three main lines off that pole are down right now near the pine tree?
01:31
Yes, sir. The two out of the top three are on the ground.
01:37
And everything holding the pine tree up looks like the fiber optics.
01:42
I'd say the top of the pine tree is what’s taking the fire lines out.
01:47
Okay, that was your 46 hours.
01:52
G-22 communications.
01:55
Good, sir.
01:57
All right, talk to first energy.
01:59
They got a work order in for that area from about where you're at,
02:04
a house about two houses up there on the left-hand side.
02:09
That's where the work order address is at.
02:11
It's covering everything up at Danville.
02:13
They advise they do have someone en route at this time.
02:20
They shouldn't be there probably within the half hour or so.
02:25
Okay, we can't verify whether these lines are still hot or not.
02:30
We're not seeing anything with it.
02:32
We're going to hang tight until PE gets here and takes that.
02:36
Okay, like I said, I just talked to them.
02:38
They've got evidently two work orders, one for a residence about two houses up from where you're at on Red Rock Lane.
02:46
And evidently the other one is going to be almost up past the old Dale's pit stop.
02:51
Power outages are all the way up through there, up through the three lanes in Danville right now.
