But there is, there was an electrical charge in the water. Some type of new bolt ramp, it's a dock that's near the trestle. Copy that. Do you copy that from North Smithfield? That's a tournament. On that exact location right now, we don't see any wires or anything in the water that could be electrically charged. There's other people over here, too. Everyone else is okay in this area. Roger. We're going to be putting out boat and one of our boats in the water from the boat ramp when they get here. Engine 13 copies, let us know if you need a hand over there. We'll be all except for manpowering this end. We need anybody from town service, electrical inspector, electrical inspector. Also, do we need DEM there? I don't believe we're going to need any additional resources from Barlow. I just heard Nostmouth's full fires, bringing a boat, possibly DEM, if they don't figure out what's going on. I'm just giving me a fleury heads-off call then. Thank you. Appreciate it.
