Awesome, come in. Fed. You want us to wipe down this area? You know, it's a good, three-quarters of a pole length away. Maybe we could just blow it down a little? No, let's hold off, because those primaries are on the ground, so I don't know if that's energized or not. So just keep everybody on the east side of Russell Road for now. Received. the command posted to the left. Another wire let loose. Yeah, get the crew from 31 on the pump side, get them on Russell Road on the grass. They're going. Spadgett command.
