He's wanting to start to cut this up where we wait on DOT.
00:17
DOT for it.
00:23
It's a pretty massive tree.
00:24
I mean, it's got a lot of bushes.
00:25
We just started cutting, but I didn't know what you wanted.
00:28
I thought you'd already been up here.
00:29
I could see your truck down there.
00:32
We've, we come across power lines laying across
00:36
multiple spots of this curve when we stopped.
00:38
I'll get DOT for you.
00:44
Okay, I copy.
00:45
It's just. Completely covered in vines, poison ivy, and it's a lot of brush.
00:53
They're going to need a machine.
00:59
Go ahead, squad.
01:06
Just spoke with Brush 18-2.
01:08
If you will go ahead and contact DOT as well, let them know we're going to need a machine for this tree they located.
01:18
Okay, on that, have we got a better location on the street down to pass along to them?
01:25
I won't say it's probably within 100 yards of the 1st sharp curve once you get on Earlys Mountain Road on the west side.
01:38
Okay, on that, I know that address is house number is probably far between out there is around 200 block.
01:45
Sound about right?
01:48
Yeah, we'll go with that number.
01:53
Okay.
01:54
Getting. All right, buddy.
02:12
Tom, 1st grid, clear.
02:15
Right, yeah, okay.
02:21
Hey (name withheld), this pole says C59.
02:28
Sounds good, buddy.
02:29
I appreciate it.
02:35
Hey, ask them if it's wet up there.
02:41
We were just talking about that.
02:47
So is it, or isn't it?
02:54
Up for the surprise showers and isolated areas.
03:02
Doctor says he's in the pretty poison oak.
03:09
If this was a little poison oak, it wouldn't be bad.
03:13
This is a lot of poison oak.
03:21
Send pictures.
03:24
I'm there right now.
03:28
We would actually die from this power line.
03:34
I mean, we're scared of dying from cutting this tree because there's a power line right through the middle.
03:41
But die from H or die from Zappy Zappy.
03:47
We're gonna die from both.
03:54
So which one of you is cutting up there?
04:00
(name withheld).
04:04
He's afraid the water's gonna get up, so he's gonna get out of there.
04:12
Say again, (name withheld).
04:13
I can't hear you.
04:16
I asked if he's afraid he's gonna get wet, so he's trying to cut it so he can get out of there.
