511 Dodge on 23 and APW is on the south side already.
00:10
For 511.
00:15
Oh.
00:18
Wow!
00:31
Trying to get a pole number, Dodge, but I believe it's going to be Alliant.
00:35
And the whole pole, but everything's attached yet for the time being.
00:45
So far, call this contact Alliant and have them respond.
00:52
Yeah, everything's attached, but the pole is pretty much all the way down as well.
01:04
Big tree on J's?
01:08
Yeah, I'd say Dodge Mustang.
01:13
One four five fifty-nine.
01:16
Five Eleven Dutch, can you copy a pole number?
01:19
Five Eleven, go ahead.
01:23
Eleven dash 14.
01:25
Dash 4.2, 30 over seven.
01:34
Ten four.
01:41
Eleven Dutch.
01:47
It's 0511.
01:50
You can just advise Alliant that I guess the main line is directly underneath a tree.
02:07
Five eleven.
02:12
Dutch.
02:19
It's actually going to be an old phone wire.
02:35
One 22.
02:38
One twenty-two, go ahead.
02:41
The way it's in the tunnel without assistance.
02:46
Ten four, sounds good.
02:54
Eleven.
02:57
Go ahead, DPW has lost.
03:02
I'm sorry, is the pole broken or is it just down?
03:09
Well, the pole is at a 90-degree angle.
03:13
It snapped at the base, but the wire is underneath it currently as well.
03:19
But it's still together, so apparently it's the main 911 wire.
03:26
So you may lose that service if they don't have it.
03:31
Confirm.
