Battalion 39 to Queens. 39. At 8545, conditions seem to have subsided on the overhead wires and the underground transformer. We did another check of surrounding properties. Results are negative. We're going to cut the units loose. We have the area roped off for the arrival of ConEd. The units will let you know when they're 10-8. And Battalion 39 to 10-8, heading back to Brooklyn. We'll be right back.

939 to Queens. 39. At 8545, we have a smoking transformer in the street. We also have numerous primary wires that have been arcing and popping up and down the immediate vicinity. Conditions remain unchanged. If you could relate to that. I'll lay that in.

To say firefighter need respect for calling coned to shut a transformer off is wild. That’s like thanking your car mechanic for a random tow guy
