Dominia is then notified. They advised they got a call earlier from somebody over on Manchester, 6214 Manchester stating that the tree limit had fallen. They said they sent somebody out there before and stated that they thought it was going to be Verizon lines, but they're going to send somebody back out there. 1829. Yeah, it looks like it's going to be Verizon lines. I don't think it is going to be Virginia Power. You know, you can call them back. I don't know that they're going to mess with it. It doesn't seem like it is power lines. It's not, it's not, the lines aren't down in the street to run parallel to the street. So it's just kind of resting on the lines. It's not an electrical hazard at this time. There's no lines down, but it's a significant tree limb and it's across the street. So. I don't know who's responsible for getting this tree limb out of the street. I don't know if it's a city issue. Verizon might want to get it off their line, but it's blocking the street right now. So we've got a caution taped off, and there's no other hazards than that, so we're going to be clearing up here momentarily. Copy. I'm just going to figure out who I need to contact. I'll just call everybody.
