 I'm sorry CPD, go ahead with your traffic.

 Uh, out here at the Hillary Road Norcross with this wire, I was able to get into the

 backyard of one of the houses here and confirm that it is a lower, it's a lower wire.

 It most likely is like a telecom or something of that nature.

 Engine 13 should be there shortly to just verify.

 Alright, since they're close, I'll just wait and let them confirm.

The downed wire is likely a telecom line, not an electrical one. Verification is pending.

 Alright sir, I'll get a truck out there to check it out real quick. We'll be there in a few minutes.

 I honestly don't think it's live, but I figure it's better to check.

 No sir, that's perfectly fine. Yeah, you're right. It's better for us to check it out and make sure it's not a problem.

 Officer Dog Caller, she's not here with anybody anymore.

 Are you guys able to check down lines to see if they're hot or not?

 We do have equipment on the truck that can check if a wire is live, that's correct.

 Is it from the top of a pole or is it from like the middle or bottom?

 It's kind of laying across somebody's house and then across the street.

 Have you, uh, checked if firewood come out and see if it's live?

 It's probably your next step, and then if it's not live, you can move it off the road, throw some tape on it, and then AP can come out and fix it later.

 No, I didn't even know CFD would do that.

 Yeah, they have like a little wand that checks the electricity to make sure it's on a live wire.

 They'll check it, and then they'll help you get it out of the road if it's not live.
