Jeff, this no lights on Elmhurst is going to need a tree crew first and then a line crew.
00:06
Large tree took a span of triplex down in the lot line, so you should have a handful of no lights off of this off at Elmhurst and Lakeview Drive.
00:25
I'll put some notes on the order, but.
00:29
Snap truck accessible.
00:30
This had to be manual by the crew.
00:33
It looks like only one pole has to be worked though, but I isolated the triplex from the transformer pole, so it's safe for the tree crew to come in and start cutting.
00:44
Oh great, just what we need.
00:46
Okay, sounds good (name withheld).
00:48
I will let the forester know that tree crew needs to get out there.
00:51
Would it be safe to get that off there before we send a crew?
00:54
Yeah, like I said, I isolated the triplex that's down by way of—I cut it at the transformer pole.
01:02
So it's de-energized.
01:05
And depending on what line crew you send, I mean, it's a big tree, but it's probably only four or five cuts you could get provided they have a big enough bar.
01:16
But anyway, I would say just send the tree group, but I know they're short handed.
01:22
Yeah, I'll just send the tree crew.
01:25
Oh, sounds good.
01:26
I will go ahead and get that going.
01:28
Thank you.
