33 to Brooklyn. 33, K. At this time, we're using one engine, two trucks. We had a primary wire to a house fall down. It said some rubbish on fire next to the house right now. We have a live wire, so we need time to respond. 10-4.

That was quickly put under control... Doesn't look like much damage.. They had contractors on the scene . I wonder what they were working on ?🤔
