The AEP representative just advised me that we will not be able to have this car removed from the pole
00:06
until Department of Highways gets on scene in the roads.
00:09
Get fixed up and they can get their trucks out here to hold this pole.
00:13
He advised that when the cars move, the pole is going to fall over.

Hi, copy. I'll give them a call back and see if they can get someone out there.

Dispatch 432.

Good.
00:40
Department of Highways was updated again.

They advised there's still no ETA and they said somebody should be en route to you all.

They're going to possibly try to get a couple of their employees and their salt truck over here to salt the hill so AEP can get up here.
01:18
Thank you.
01:24
Okay,
01:33
I had to holler somebody down here, but we're going to wait 30 minutes and see if Department of Highways arrives on scene,
01:41
and if they don't, they're going to try to come out here and salt this hillside.
01:48
Okay.

You probably have to call them out too unless they're working.
01:53
They may be out working since.

Good deal.

Be advised A1's on the scene.

3-2, do you see this salt up the station?
02:20
There's some small containers of calcium chloride back there, but not enough to put all over that hill.
02:32
Yeah,
02:33
there's just a few bags there.

Let's see if we can get Department of Highways out here and if not see if we can get the city out here.
