Copy. No arcing or sparking now, but the vines going up the pole is believed to be what caused it. That's affirmative. Message received.

Fire 1 dispatcher 15 engine, just be advised, we do have Duquesne Light on the phone currently. Just advise if they're going to be needed to respond for your detail. Dispatch 15 engine, that's affirmative. If you're going to come out here, there's some vines growing up on this pole here. It's probably a cousin that's working. It's not actively sparking right now. So if you can have them come out here and take a look at this pole here, it'd be greatly appreciated. 15 engine, I didn't copy the first part. You said what's up against the pole? There are vines growing up against the pole. 15 engine, I didn't copy the first part. You said what's up against the pole?
