Some heavy smoke in the 154 area, but we're unable to locate.

We've been back and forth a couple times.

We've got three trucks off the side.

None of them are blowing smoke, but still trying to locate.
00:13
Might have your folks staged for just a minute until we get a better location.

I'll have my guy stage and I'll head up the hill in command and see if I can help you guys locate.

past that first truck that was off the side on the right.
01:21
It was idling, nobody was in it.
01:24
We're at the, up by the brake check area.
01:27
One guy's claiming he has the injector trouble,
01:29
and he's trying to drop his trailer.

So I don't know if he's the one who blew all the smoke there at, like, around the 154 or not.
01:37
But we're just checking this truck, this only truck we got off the side.
01:41
But I don't know if something bailed off the side that we missed.
01:46
At 104, I'm going to check the guardrails.

I did see one vehicle right before I hit the smoke, and I'm coming to the top of the hill.

We found the suspect vehicle.

Looks like it might be just a blown gasket that's causing a lot of smoke from oil.

Williams is confirming that there is no fire.

I'll update once they do confirm.
