Fire Control 16-1. 16-1? According to National Grid, I was just talking to the, the, the guy in the van, I guess his line supervisor. He went up and down Township. No poles on fire, no broken poles. And there seems to be no fire, but there are open fuses. Received.

Fire Control 16-1, I am on the scene. There is a national grid truck right here. It's right across from right intersection of Township and Lewis. Received. You could just get me a poll number if it's possible. They were asking. Received.
