Unit Cullen, command?
04:12
Sinafore.
04:14
Hey, Chief, it's recipe, too.
04:15
I'm not sure what the next off-ramp is, westbound.
04:18
I believe it may be terminal, so VD might need to shut it down at terminal.
04:24
Yeah, copy.
04:27
I got wondering where Ladder 9 can be best positioned, because like you said, that on-ramp that we're staring at, there's no way to stop those vehicles at this point.
04:41
Command Norfolk, TAC 4.
04:44
Command.
04:47
Yeah,
04:51
man. We're going to determine in command,
04:53
release TAC 4.

05:06
Command, the Navy 15.
05:09
Go ahead, command.
05:12
Disregard, I'm walking to you.
05:18
Command, the Liner 9.
05:24
We've got Navy 15 reaching out to base police.
05:27
They're going to shut down that on-ramp from Gate 3.
05:31
Once they do that, hopefully you can relocate your vehicle in close 564 and possibly row people in the opposite direction of that on-ramp and they can get off and figure something else out.
05:45
Later on copy, we'll let you know when P.P.D.
05:49
shut down ours and we can relocate.
