Dispatch from 17 Engine. Go ahead, 17. We're going to need police for traffic control and I believe Allegheny Electric for this light post. 17, is that a metal pole? It's a wooden pole connected to a metal pole. The light's still on on the streetlight. The wire's obviously still alive, hanging across the street right now. It's angling from a tree.
