00:00
Can I get an investigate order for this? We don't lose it.
00:03
They hit our pole on the other side of the road.
00:06
I'm going to cut the wire down, feed the street light and everything.
00:10
So the crews can do it at another day.
00:13
The fire department said the police pulled the people out of the car off the pole and all that, so we'll have to have the boys give them a call and find out why they're touching cars that are on poles.
00:25
They have no idea what they're looking at.
00:27
One of these times it's going to kill somebody.
00:30
But if I got an investigate, then I can,
00:33
we can,
00:34
or maybe I can just create a...
00:36
a damage order, but I don't know.
00:38
I think it's just Grand Traverse County, but it could be the city.
00:41
I'm not sure who is here, and that's the part that's aggravating.
00:45
Let me see if I can create a host inquiry.
00:48
You won't have to create an order to do.
00:51
at a later date, just feeding the streetlight pole.
00:54
Okay, copy that 935 Hemlock.
00:57
You're going to create a damage order for it.
01:02
To do it a later date for a street light.
01:05
And yeah,
01:06
there is a callback number on there.
01:09
As far as finding out who was out there, I'm sure we could get something from that.
01:14
Central 5A.
01:15
Five A.
01:16
Well, the fire department said it was the county.
01:20
And that's probably who it was.
01:22
But they said they gave me the number, but I think the legal team needs to chase this down.
01:27
Because one of these times I've gotten to a fight with them before, and a pole was cracked at the top, or broken at the top, they just don't see things.
01:34
They're not qualified to look at things.
01:36
It's just very, very aggravating.
01:38
When you called me, I was on site in less than 40 minutes from getting up.
01:42
out of that whole nine yard.
01:44
So there's absolutely no excuse this is going on.
01:48
Yep, I agree completely.
01:50
There's an MSP officer, top of Bidner.
01:53
Can you have him stop that super new vehicle that's going to be coming up top of the hill?
01:57
One of the occupants from the vehicle that rolled over here has some belongings in that vehicle.
02:02
Clear, silver vehicle cresting the hill.
02:04
One of the occupants has belongings in it.
02:08
Thank you.
02:10
Okay.
02:12
75, 38, 946.
02:13
There's a Subaru coming to the top of the hill.
02:15
Could you stop them and let them know the occupant in the involved vehicle needs to get some additional belongings out of that vehicle?
02:23
I'll get to that stuff.
02:24
It's going to take a bit and get this wire cut down so that everything is safe because that's what's arcing on the ground is a wire.
02:33
And the fire firm has been relieved, so we should be good with everything.
02:38
And go from there, so we send it back to you soon.
02:41
When you get it, you'll know what to do with it.
