We didn't see anything on our way through there.
00:07
Do you have any other information on that?
00:14
You want to stop at (number withheld) Malones Road.
00:16
They're the ones saying their lights are flickering and they're seeing and hearing all of this.
00:24
Copy that, (number withheld) .
00:29
I'll give them a call see if they can step out for you.
00:37
(number withheld).
00:41
Go for 410.
00:44
Actually, the caller's going to be at (number withheld) Malone's, (number withheld).
00:47
She's saying it's in front of (number withheld), which is a relative of hers.
00:52
She said the police cars in the area where it's at, and they just lost power at (number withheld).
01:00
Copy that. We're headed back that way.

County 410.
01:15
Go ahead.
01:18
They said it's right in front of (number withheld).
01:20
(number withheld) is actually up on a hill away from where the road is itself, but it should be right in front of where that address would be.
01:27
And the police were supposed to be at it.
01:32
Copy. We're here now.
01:33
I'll let you know what's up.
01:36
Okay, 656.
01:43
410 counter.
01:46
410.
01:50
All right, so there was some arcing at the top of the pole.
01:53
There's no actual wires down in the area.
01:55
I guess some of the residents here are having some power flickering.
01:58
I'll give you a pole number when you're ready.
02:00
There's nothing else we're going to be able to do here.
02:02
Go ahead.
02:04
Top number is 40481 over S Sierra 52638 .
02:18
Are you gonna throw some tape up in that area?
02:24
We can put some caution tape around the pole, but like I said, there's nothing down here.
02:28
There's nothing that will impede traffic or anything like that.
02:30
The residents at (number withheld) do not have power though right now.
02:36
Okay, and any transformers on it or anything, or is it just that the pole's damaged or snapped?
02:49
No, there's no transformer on the pole.
02:51
It looks like one of the wires is burned off the insulator at the top.
03:00
Okay.
03:01
And is the pole down at all?
03:06
Negative. There's nothing wrong with the pole other than that wire being burned off at the top.
03:12
Okay, copy that.
