We're going to get by a truck and get ripped down if they don't get somebody out here.

Okay, they're advising that they don't come out for low-hanging wires, that if the fire department was responsible for removing trees in that area, comes that removes them, and there's still a hazard, then they'll come out. So do you want me just tell them that they're still hanging low and has been removed?
