All right, this deer is going to have to be dispatched.
00:04
Will you see if you have the law enforcement number for TWRAA,
00:10
because we're going to have to move it out of these people's property? And we also contact the Sheriff's Department and see if they have the homeowner's phone number for this address.
00:21
It's the neighbors that are over here.
00:23
The homeowners are not here.

00:54
Okay.

Rapid SOS is showing on 24 eastbound.
01:00
We're getting several calls on this.
01:03
Now they're saying entrapment.
01:06
We're going to call about a deer that had been hit.
01:10
She's out with it now.
01:11
She's going to, it's going to have to, it's going to need to be dispatched.
01:15
It's still getting further.

212. If you can advise TWRAA, if they can come out there and take care of it, that'd be great.
01:40
If not, we'll let her do what she needs to do with it.
01:43
10.4. Both the complainant and myself have attempted to call TWRA if they're not answering at her dispatch.
01:51
Why is one of those jets? It sounds like they went off Cummings Highway and went down there and banked back there to the railroad track.
02:00
If you go up Cummings Highway and watch the left, there is a road that cuts down to the railroad tracks to get down there.
02:08
Stand forward, just to tell her to take care of it safely.
02:12
All companies except squad one cancel and return service.

Okay. Okay.
02:28
I talked with one of the TWA officers that's up and rang, and he said he can get a hold of their dispatch if we couldn't get a hold of them.
02:36
My big thing is some way to dispose of it once it's taken care of, but I do have the homeowner's phone number from the neighbor if we need it.
02:47
I'm in front of the dome entrance and I got an unattended vehicle.
02:51
I'm ready.
02:53
Ten more.
02:54
Okay.
02:57
Okay, vehicle.

If you want to go ahead and move over to Fireground 2 and respond, but it is going to be eastbound.
03:42
So you'll have to go down to Browns Ferry and turn around and come back.
03:46
We're clear. We're in round.
03:47
Clear. Clear.
03:49
I got TWRAA to answer.
03:51
The last time I called, they advised that it's going to be up to either the city or the county to dispose of it.
03:56
I'm calling them now.
03:58
