All right, I got a Duke Power rep getting ready to come to you to see if he's going to try to get his contractor tree service out here for these trees.
00:08
He should be there in just a 2nd .
00:09
He's trying to get turned around.
00:12
Yeah.
00:14
I'm gonna go back up here to the intersection of Hunt Road and Branson Mill Road because traffic's starting to pile up behind me.
00:22
Okay, can I let Nick go? Can he get around you to help go get that tree cleared on that side?
00:34
No, the lines are down on my side.
00:37
That's why we need to come around from the other side.
00:39
All the lines are in the road and on this side of the tree.
00:46
He's saying they're dead.
00:48
I said, "Well, you walk up, use a chainsaw and cut them." He said, "No." So I said, "We're not going to do neither."
00:55
Copy.
00:58
Once he gets here,
01:00
we'll see what.
01:01
His suggestion is that I'm thinking probably put up some cones on this side since it's going to be a while and clear.
01:17
From this.
01:20
All right, let me know what he says.
01:21
I'm gonna go back up here.
01:23
And if y'all do that, I'll run to the station and get some cones and come back here and block off Branson Mill completely on this end.
01:31
Sample.
01:33
Brush.
01:35
Yeah, I can drop them.
01:37
My dad's got a deep brush.
01:40
Ten four, if you're coming back his way, I'm right here.
01:42
If you want to set them out,
01:44
go with him.
01:49
Yeah, he just has the small cones, correct?
01:54
Ten four.
01:56
He would, if you just want to go get to the station and get the big cones set out, that way they'll be seen better.
02:06
All right, all units, stand by on the cones.
02:08
They got the. Traffic people out here already with their cones and signs.
02:12
So just hold on and see what's getting ready to happen here.
02:20
Six two three.
02:23
Go ahead.
02:25
He's advising to put out some cones on this side.
02:29
It's going to be a while before they can clear this one.
02:33
All right, ten four.
02:35
Like I said, I've got the traffic control people over here on this side with me with a truck load of cones.
02:43
Let me talk to them.
02:44
I may send them around and use all their stuff if they work contract with you, caller.
02:49
Copy.
02:52
Go on brush three, I'll take care of it.
02:56
Engine three.
02:59
Engine three.
03:02
Go ahead.
03:05
All right, this guy's going to block off this side of Branson Mill and he's going to come around.
03:09
He's got cones and signs and put them up for y'all so y'all be able to clear once he gets there.
03:15
Okay, FYI.
03:18
We talked to this Duke Energy guy.
03:21
He said we can go around on the other side,
03:25
walk around the lines to go get to the tree and cut it.
03:30
What do you advise?
03:33
Once again, I talked to him.
03:36
He said they're dead, but he said he wasn't touching them.
03:39
That's on you.
03:42
He has a contact.
03:43
Contractor coming to fix that other tree.
03:45
I just let the contractor do both of them.
