42931 over S's zero,
02:51
50811.
02:54
Correct.
02:57
All right, that's definitely a PPL number.
03:06
Okay, yeah, because we're going to have to get them out ASAP because top of the pole is on fire.
03:12
It's about probably 15 feet,
03:16
10 to 15 feet away from a resident.
03:24
Eddie, just take a ride up with the rig.
03:27
I'll meet you there.
03:33
Do you have power in the area?
