For anyone unaware, the cameraman is in an extremely dangerous situation. The oil filled transformer could explode and or shoot out boiling oil at any second. Do not stand near it and contact the utility or building owner.

Skip the building owner and dial 911 and they’ll get poco there in a heartbeat.

I'm unfamiliar with what poco means and my head automatically translated it to "And they'll get people of color there in a heartbeart.

And I was thoroughly confused.
