I got you, 10-4. 10-4, thanks. And 12, yeah, I'm going to be working on the traffic here at Falls and Cold Springs. I'm definitely going to need another commit. 10-4. On Engine 44, it's 10-23 with me. 10-4.

Yeah, 21 in reference. The vehicle did go into a BGE pole, so that's probably why the power's out just in this area for now. 10-4. 10-4, I'm pulling up right now, so where do you want me at? What was that car street? What car is that? 10-4, you guys could just, I guess just help with traffic right now at the Falls and Cold Springs. That's a major intersection. We don't need another 31, so we're going to work on this guy in a second, and then I'll advise when I can.

Prayers for the driver, that could have been a whole lot worse if the electric pole fell down on the work van and electrocuted them
