I don't see anything. I'm going to go towards Delaware and see if I can see something over that way.

All right, because all these wires appear to be intact back to the far out.
00:26
Car 3, car 2. It looks like there's one down right on that corner house where the MBA was when it's been back around.
00:44
Congratulations, Station 1 is on the air.

Lawrence 3.

Go ahead.
01:02
We have a crew for the engine. Do you need a third response?
01:09
We can stand by for right now. We're trying to locate. I think I might have found it, but I'm not 100% sure.
01:18
Copy.
01:27
Go ahead.
01:33
I don't want.
01:39
Myself and car 3 are still trying to locate.
01:42
I'm not sure if I found the spot or not.

reported wire down.
02:17
I don't think this one's there here. This one is just hanging here.

Chris, the light at the intersection up here is flashing.

Car 3, L1. I didn't see anything when I was coming from my residence.

Fire 3, car 2. Good.
03:05
So I just spoke with the caller.
03:07
She said it was the lines that are right here in the Stewart's parking lot, right by the laundromat. She said a branch fell down, hit the top lines, sparked up, so that's why she called. It's not an actual wire that's down.
03:20
So... I don't know, I might just contact 9-1-1-10 central Hudson over.
03:28
Yeah, I would also, when you contact 911, let them know that the traffic light at the intersection Lakeside and 52 is flashing, so there was an issue at some point.
