Yeah, for your information, we've shut down the Honey Road.

Just give me a heads up if your officer can shut down the intersection of Smith and Lower Huntington and see if we get a city officer to shut down southbound Smith Road from Engel Road.

I'm clear on that. I also recalled AEP to see if we get any sort of ETA with an update that's occurring. They said they are now not able to provide any sort of ETA.

Okay, that pole is about three-quarters of the way burned through, and I'm just concerned a 10-inch chunk is going to fall on Smith Road, as well as the wire is coming down. I've got four power lines here, and once they fall, it's going to be a spark ship.
00:53
I'm glad on that.
01:04
Go ahead.
01:06
We do have a county officer and a city officer that's en route to assist.

Perfect, thank you.
