I lifted up a pipe that had fallen from a bridge over the BCN and was blocking the cut using a cable puller.

Turns out there was a 132,000 volt live cable inside it, supplying many streetlights on the M6, and it earthed itself very spectacularly with much flames and smoke as I lifted it up.

Ended up calling out the fire brigade and CRT anyway to turn it off first!

Bloody hell! Well I am glad you are ok.

Assuming it was reasonably easy to run water down, and the cause was fairly obvious, I would run water down. Often such pounds are well known (poolstock, say) or its a left up paddle.

If it wasnt obvious I might then email to let them know I had done so, if it was a big job for some reason, or failed to fill, i would then ring and either work while waiting for them to arrive or not as appears sensible.
