Tree down on highway with fire and live power lines
Fire & ArsonA large tree has fallen across both lanes of a highway near Cleveland Road, bringing down live power lines and causing a small fire. The fire measures about 10 feet by 10 feet and produces white smoke and active flames. Foggy conditions reduce visibility, and the road is likely blocked.

In 17, Spattschon route. Clear not. Just by 1017, we're swimming in the North State Highway 17 for Cleveland Road, North 17 for Queue Wilderness. For a tree on a power line without an active flame, how are devising the fires on the side of the road, there's a tree down in the lines. with white smoke and active flames. We charge you further, however, the caller lost service. Nothing further, 650. 2-10-1-2-4. Just 5'121. Right. Call pending in North Zone from Hell and TV. They collect the Florida tag at 92 miles per hour, requesting deputy response. They're on as much. Helen PD pulled over Florida tag (number withheld), Kilo Golf Hotels, Zebra 39. Collected 92 miles per hour, pulled over with Pel and PD in Stevens County at this time. We're going to just match off duty. Clear off duty 622. 136 that's that? 136. There is going to be a tree down across both lanes. There's also going to be a small fire approximately 10 by 10. Looks like there is live wires on the ground. Contact everybody that we need contact please. Clear. 151 just about 108, 104[1]1. Clear 151 on duty 6.255. 136, you need me to continue being right away or you're 104? I'm 104. There's not really a way for me to get to the other side for traffic unless if I go down to Quay Wilderness. You can see it for about 100 feet when you're around that curve on the other side. You get me to go down. It's right and get to the other side. If you won't do, if you're not busy, I mean, like I said, there's about 100 foot or a little more on the other side of visibility when you can be around that curve. So unless they're flying, they should be able to see it, but it is pretty foggy up here. Definitely. All right there's pretty good size. 136 this fact, I'll still let the road department know that they're probably going to need some equipment to get that tree down it. It looks like it's pretty good-sized tree.
