Engine 9, go ahead. Metro Engine 9, this is going to be an underground electrical vault with wires burning. Power is still high. We've got workers on scene. They're waiting to get the power shut down. Can you have DOT respond and block traffic northbound on Main at 7th? We don't need any other resources at this time. Roger.
