I've got an exposed wiring and a poll that probably got the story here on the corner of Powell and 28th into a traffic
00:27
Copy, are you needing fire to come out or PGE?
00:32
We're needing calls on this?
00:36
Not fire, they were already here, but for the line to get, because the line is exposed,
00:42
for that to get, you know, taken care of.
00:47
The power line or do you know if it's a cable line?
00:54
It's like a street light.
01:00
Who owns the cable line in that location? I'm not sure what number I call. I can contact PGE and have them go look at it though.
01:12
As soon as possible if you can come to... Would it be staying yard or PBOB that would be in charge because it's a public property?
01:23

This is not, never mind So it would have to go to CONCAST or whoever owns the cable line and that's not something we do callbacks for
02:27
Okay, 2124.
02:30
Okay, to clarify.
02:36
So nobody responds to these live wires?
02:41
Cable or are they power lines?
02:45
So whatever wires run the crosswalk sign, so they're underground at one point.
02:51
So maybe cable, I guess then.
02:55
Copy, that is not what I understood to be said before, so this is a line that goes to a stoplight.
03:05
For more or less, you know, the crosswalk sign that's next to the stoplight, yes.
03:09
Last time this happened, I want to say it was a pivot that came out.
03:13
Copy.
03:14
I will give them a call and clarify that with them. It sounded like it was a cable line, like a Comcast line before.
03:22
No,
