633, I was just skating that 71 southbound to 70 eastbound to 0.
00:11
Okay, we've got traffic moving eastbound out, correct?
00:14
Not from the 71 split, I don't know east of us who's moving where, but we've got cones probably a good four in a mile or so.
00:22
Okay, um,
00:23
somebody's open up their ramps thing.
00:24
Columbus Fire, a medic pop-up.

551 route.
00:27

Number five ladder 23.
00:31
Is there power out in the area?
00:32
22 is on scene.
00:33
It's like we have three vehicles to be investigating.
00:35
Oh, okay. We've got one of the main lines coming through though.
00:39
605 to all the ramps, so if we've got steady traffic going eastbound out, I'd open them up your ramps.
00:44
No, sir, it doesn't seem to have disturbed the actual power service, but the pole itself, the guy hit, looks like it's damaged.
00:51
I think the AP should come on and take a look at the pole itself.
00:54
Let's receive, sir.
00:55
