This guy control, 4401. Engine 241. This is unit 4401. I'm on scene here, State Road 75 and 234. We've got several oversized loads. This could be a semi-truck, too, has driven over the power lines. We've got several power lines now. Autobytes further on utility poles here in just a minute. Clear? 4401. I got a poll number here for you if you're ready. 4401, go ahead. Poll number A 4159967. Clear. And you know who the power company is there? Negative. The power company is not here right now. We've got several transmissions on his roof down, and it's cleared to be some, like I said, these. He's just basically driven underneath them. It's too high of a load, and they're down in the trees and everything. Clear, do you know who the power company is for that area? I believe it might be Boone County, R-A-M-C. I'm not for sure. I've tried to contact James Town Utilities to go avail yet. Clear. This panic control, I just found out. It's going to be Boone County R-E-M-C.
