Received. Clear me from traffic on Carpenter Hill.

296, what area is that? I'm on 169 now.

Caller is in the area of number (number withheld).

Sounds like the roadway is impassable.

00:36

All right, find out very soon.

00:41

We had a few cars here.

00:43

I'll advise.

01:01

I got a

Citella truck here at the MP.

01:19

He's backing up so it's going south.

01:21

He might be trying to move it out of the way.

01:22

I'll advise.

01:33

296, can you see if DPW is available to come down,

push this out of the way? Also, maybe contact Southbridge, see if they can bump people up Katie Brooks.

Could tell the truck was able to use the back of his truck to push the branch out of the road.

02:09

He had his shovel.

02:10

We cleared up most of the debris, so it's passable.

02:14

However, Matt feels he is going to have to go down there and clean some stuff up.

02:17

We'll be clear.

02:24

3C3, just confirming the roadway is reopened.

02:30

Affirmative.
