A2, Engine 34. Engine 34. Yeah, the electrical hazard that we just got, is that one in the same with 31 or a different call? It's a different call. Engine 31 is 3222 Anza, cross of 23rd and 24th. There's this coming from 16th and Anza. Engine 34, message received. Possibly related. We have another caller advising that the power is out in the area.

Looks like nothing but apparently something on that utility pole sparked and blew. Causing a large power outage.
