I'm not sure if this is one in the same or if it's a different call, but I have a pole with wires down on Bitting Road just north of Baldy Hill.
00:15
I'm going to try to get you a poll number. I'm going to try to get up on the other side to see if this is the same call for going to be two different ones.
00:24
I think there was an additional caller that was third party that said it possibly was a pull-down as well, so it might be one at missing.

The pole is snapped across the roadway behind the mound,
