Yeah, affirmative, I'll do all of that, there's probably no need for you to monitor for now, albeit I don't have phone reception down here, so up to you if you want to monitor, otherwise I can come back by Norton Summit Station and get you on the phone, over.

Norton Summit 34P reported a large tree blocking Old Norton Summit Road near Blind Bend, stuck in power lines, and requested SES assistance at the bottom.
Yeah, we've arrived at incident 130. We have a large tree right the way across the road. It appears to be stuck in power lines. No traffic can get through on Old Norton Summit Road. Crew's getting to work with traffic control. I'll provide a further sitrep in a couple of minutes over.
East Torrens Duty officer
20:21:53 7.0s
Yeah, roger that, we're involved in power lines, I don't suggest you touch the tree if that's the case, over.
Norton Summit 34P
20:22:01 3.2s
Yeah, affirmative, we're not going to touch a tree, we're just from the map.

East Torrens Duty officer
20:22:39 5.5s
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well, over. I'll see what I can do for Tim and get back to you. Kudos to standing by.
Norton Summit 34P

Norton Summit Control from Norton Summit Station, over.
Norton Summit 34P
20:23:03 3.4s
Yeah, whitey, copy.
5215055
20:23:08 7.0s
Yeah, I assume you would like us to close the old road at the top. We can close it with a QRV if you like.
Norton Summit 34P
20:23:16 8.4s
Yeah, if there's no vehicles able to traverse this, it's right the way across the road at probably six foot high, over.
5215055
20:23:26 14.9s
Yeah, roger that, so do you want, we could use the bulk water carry at the top and take the IV around the long way and close the bottom, or are you happy at the moment just for waiting for SAPOL to close the bottom?
Norton Summit 34P
20:23:42 6.6s
I think we'll utilise SES if they're able to play a role at the bottom, given they're coming from that side.
