Mount Barker SES liaised with SAPN, cleared the tree on the road, and noted power lines are live and hanging; SAPN will use pole saws and may need a boom truck.
Yeah, just liaising with SAPN, crew's going to get work with chainsaws, removed the section of tree on the road, SAPN Ute currently on scene, EWP still en route, they're going to work on this one, get the power lines back up in the air, power switch back on, and then they'll head to your incident. We'll be done long before that, so we'll head to your job as soon as we've cleared the road, over.tentative
5215354
10:36:30 14.0s
Yeah, copy SES, much appreciated. SAPN won't require a boom lift for this location. It should be a pole saw job, if that, but lines are still up and live and just sort of hanging.
Mount Barker SES
10:36:46 8.7s
Roger, I'm by the SAPOL bloke at the moment, I do believe they will need the boom truck anyway, as they have a safe distance of work, over.
5215354
10:36:57 11.4s
Yeah, copy, makes sense. When you get here, there might be a bit of pole sawing work just to get access for a boom truck further up the road. We'll liaise and chat about that when you arrive.

Yeah, we have removed the tree off the power line with SAPN. SAPN are happy to leave the line as is. It is a little bit low, but they're hoping it's going to pull itself up. We'll be mobile to your location, and I imagine SAPN will be following pretty closely behind.
