Copy director, good downgraded for now.
03:25
I'm just the rest of getting to call for them.
03:37
I'm going to see for that, we'll take that point.
03:44
Just try and flip them around there.
03:45
FD is good with them going through the Burlington parking lot, just the stragglers, at least.
03:52
I'm just letting you know if we let traffic go north down from this intersection and pop up.
04:01
Flip them around with the ones that try and go through, they're fine with going through Burlington.
04:06
I mean, we're not going to be able to stop everyone.
04:08
Yeah, copy.
04:09
At least the turn lanes open and the U-turn lanes open so they can flush that out.
04:13
But as far as this intersection, we're going to block off going northbound.
04:18
All right, sir.
04:22
30 to 35. Has anybody made contact with FD to see exactly what needs to be shut down?
04:29
Yeah, when I first got here, that's exactly what they said they needed.
04:31
They don't want any traffic northbound at all.
04:34
Best would be to try to block it off further in health for no lower sound.
04:39
Okay, so it's only northbound seminal needs to be blocked, correct?
04:45
So that's right.
04:46
I think it was northbound and eastbound, but I can't confirm that.
04:51
Okay, I'll be there in a better, I'll find out.
04:53
I'll let you guys know.
05:00
32 to 35, do you want me 51 or you guys get there?
05:04
Not sure, we're trying to figure it out.
05:09
Copy.
05:18
Someone come out.
05:20
Command.
05:23
I spoke with 29 officer.
05:26
They're advising it's possibly going to be a 6 to 8 inch gas main, a large main that has the leak at the time.
05:33
Understood.
05:34
6 to 8 inch gas means with the leak.
05:39
Just, we're not getting any readings right now on any of the gas meters.
05:45
Good.
05:53
Action 34, we have an update.
05:56
That was a three there saying someone was able to hit the elevator button.
06:00
The alpha,
06:01
excuse me, the outside they were able to get out.
06:11
We'll just go for the report.
06:32
And then I think we just need someone in front of the Starbucks to prevent them.
06:36
You obviously can't go left,
06:38
but just someone there to push people north.
06:43
Yeah, I'm also for those room headed.
06:48
All right, CPRVU I'm on Steam.
06:50
Just tell me where to go.
06:55
CPRV, come to me north of, I'm sorry, south of Park on Seminole, because FD is about to move their truck and they're blocking the whole road, so I'm going to need two cars.
07:05
Are you northbound?
07:11
South of Park on Seminole, a great part of the Burlington, you'll see me.
07:17
All right, I'll come in southbound so I got to flip around.
07:25
30 to Seminole 3 is the leak on the east side of Seminole?
07:39
Rescue 1 this fast, can you just confirm the unit number is it 2200?
07:44
The suite is (number withheld).
07:53
I understand that they were moving a couple trucks.
