Yeah, if the power company is interested, this is not actually a transformer, it's a power tap point, where the power lines are being tapped off and drawn towards the ground.

We can't spray water on it, and it's still electrified, so we're supposed to see her and babysit it until they get here.

Clear. Duke gave us a ticket number, but they haven't called back with an ETA yet, although earlier tonight when they had to go out, they never called back with an ETA.
00:21
They just showed up.
00:22
I'm clear, thank you very much.
00:24
I don't think we need to keep all the traffic shut down here on Greenfield.
00:28
I think we can keep the one lane open.
00:31
If PD wants to release a couple of units and just help us keep the eastbound lanes closed, that would be great.
00:39
Sorry, the beginning air traffic was cutting in and out.
00:41
Did you advise to keep the eastbound lanes closed, but they can open up the westbound?
00:47
Yeah, there's no reason to keep the entire road shut down.
00:49
The danger is pretty much isolated just the power pole itself.
00:53
So we're just going to keep the eastbound lane partially blocked with our apparatus,
00:57
but they don't need to keep all these officers to keep the entire road closed.
01:01
Clear? I'll let them know.
