204A company, are you still out?
00:01
Talking with the remaining fire personnel, they said once the...
00:04
Current diesel fuel is removed from the crash in line to the empty one.
00:10
Once that's completed, then any hazbackers should be alleviated and we should be able to open up all, but remember one lane westbound.
00:16
Okay, do you know how long that's going to take and also check with Prozo? What do they need to write this thing? How many lanes we need to hold?
00:22
They need all of eastbound end.
00:24
They said just number one wing westbound.
00:27
They don't think they'll need it, but it's the case.
00:28
They want the number one lane there.
00:29
Okay, so all of eastbound is still going to be closed, but westbound will be open except for lane number one, once we get to that point.
00:40
Okay, copy that. Hearing five information, East Main Street, and McNaughton Road.
00:44
It's going to be a great Chevy cruise versus the Honda Pilot versus a van.
00:47
CSDs in route.
00:48
S14, and you can copy the round holding.
00:50
And as far as how long it will take the end to this, I said it's approximately seven or something.
00:56
Okay, then why do we start getting ready to set up for a lane one closure? So that way whenever we release the floodgates, it'll all be set up ready to go.
01:06
Okay, I've already got the barrels that we were using before,
01:09
and if FSP has theirs back there, we should be good.
01:13
Hey, George, so what is this, uh, when are we looking at the W.S so we can let this...
01:20
This Turk crew now.
01:22
And all depends on how quickly they can switch over the diesel into the empty tanker.
01:29
Okay. Just going to give you an idea.
01:30
There was initially before the crash about 78,000,
01:34
7,800 gallons of diesel.
01:36
I'm unsure how much leaked out.
01:38
144. 144. Code 4, set us the 5.
01:40
Okay, I thought fire had told me 17,000, so that's much better.
01:46
The East Main Street in McNaughton.
01:49
Go up to tell you one in one.
01:50
I just wanted to check on CPD.
01:52
This car is on its side and blocking two lanes if you'd let them know and get an ATA.
