Okay, Fire Engine 31. We're trying to locate the electrical transformer that's out. We have power out in the area, likely the cause for the alarm. Can you start tariffs for traffic control in front of 23792 Marguerite that lights out and also notify Edison? I'll try to get you a pool number or a transformer number. Can you confirm the numerics of the 2-3472 Marguerite?
