Highway 14,
00:02
just east of Kasten, apparently there's a power line that goes across Highway 14 by events that goes to River City Longscape. Apparently that wrapped in another power line and started sparking.
00:17
It has not fallen on the highway yet,
00:20
but it could.
00:25
Copy that, and I'll be in the area.

00:32
24. 24-disfit.
00:40
Run.
00:43
Yeah,
00:45
the cable is just east of the eastbound on ramp right here. It is sagging badly entangled up. I'm smelling some electrical smoke here, so we may want to close down 14.
00:59
Hi, Kathy.
01:01
Are we talking about like a high voltage transition line?
01:07
A standard transmission line. Looks like just standard wood running across.
01:15
I copy. So we think you can pass in Utah rather than Excel?
01:22
Most likely, yeah.
01:24
Never.
01:36
106.
01:38
I can start that way if I'm needed on Highway 14 in a few minutes.
01:43
At 10.4. That sounds like you might need to shut the highway down.
01:49
Let me finish this paper.
01:50
Work up quick then I'll start that way.
01:53
104. I'm still trying to get work from state.
01:56
What their intentions might be.
02:01
Forty-five, 30, 100, I'll be 106.
02:04
Copy, 1421. It sounds like we're letting casting utilities now.
02:12
Sure.
02:16
SPT is dispatched.
02:19
280.
02:20
I'm in a route to help on that too from north of Oxford Park.
02:25
Kevin.
02:28
24 dispatch.
02:30
Go ahead.
02:32
For 26 and SP280 coming, looks like the lines are mostly stable for the moment the sparking is kind of stopped here.
02:41
So I don't think we need to shut it down just yet, but if we could have people in position in case it does drop.
02:48
10-4[1].
02:51
But,
02:52
east phone or westbound ramp?
03:02
3324, from where this one's at,
03:04
if 26 could come on the eastbound side and pre-worn traffic coming up over the bridge, there's not much time to stop otherwise.
03:11
We do need somebody a little bit east of here on the westbound side.
03:18
Do you can do that.
03:26
3312 dispatch.
03:28
Go ahead.
03:31
Might not hurt to have cast and fire assist with traffic control.
03:38
Kevin.
