From the transcript
Hello everybody, my name is James Nelson. I'm the power operations manager for the Interior Division of Alaska Power and Telephone. So for power questions right now, so what we're doing with power right now is trying to mitigate as much as possible any kind of fire danger. The biggest fire danger that we have is the West Feeder, so pretty much from our power plant all the way to Dot Lake. We killed this morning as preventative as the wind came up.
