Verdugo Engine 56. 56, go. With that poll number, I'm unable to get it for you right now at this time just because of the safety factor in the area. If you can contact Edison, have him expedite. We do have one person that's still in the vehicle. He's unhurt at this time. But if we can have him expedite so we can cut the power. 76, copy.

26. Radio, go ahead and show 56. Engine 56, go. Can you notify Edison, have them respond? I do have a power pole that's laying on top of a box truck. Stand by, I'll get you a pole number if I can in a minute. 56, copy.

He’s probably feeling so helpless right now. Mistakes happen and it’s his first time living, glad no one was hurt
