South Bay Engine 41. Engine 41. There's no current issues, but there are a couple palm trees that are in contact with two drop lines together, which is probably causing the sparking. If you can notify Edison to have them come evaluate, I have a pole number when you're ready. Go ahead. 4504430 Edward. 10-4. Thanks for watching.
