No visible sparking or damage to the transformer itself, but I'm sure it's going to be a problem if people keep driving past it the way they are. Copy that. Yeah, I have 30. Make me 350, please. Copy that. 33 12, I'm clear. You can send me that as well. I'll be down in a few minutes. Copy.

296. 296. Yeah, you're going to have to send some units out to Fairbanks as soon as possible. You got a broken telephone pole laying across the road with a transformer on it. Not sure how long it's going to be able to stay like this. People are speeding up and down the roadway. I copy. Any sparks or anything like that from the transformer? Say again? Is there any, like, cause for concern with the transformer, any sparking? I don't know.

Engine 37, am I reading something about a gunshot? Engine 37, you are? Just put us in service until police arrive, and if we're needed, have them redispatch us. Okay.
