Engine 3, engine 1.
02:02
It's broad road blocked, because we have calls coming out this way.
02:04
We put up scene tape at short and broad road to keep vehicles from Nagupe.
02:08
You have security on the opposite end of your location.
02:13
It should be completely blocked unless they're circumventing the closure.
02:17
All right, we'll figure it out.
02:19
We're coming out now of Mayo.
02:21
We're going to take a look to see what's happened here in the roadway.

All right, this road at the St.
02:29
Shore Road is closed at Field Point Road with two cones and tape.
02:33
We're going to broaden it a little bit.
02:35
Individuals must be driving around it and coming out of driveways.
02:37
There's the only way you could go down broad and block it off as close to shore as possible.
02:42
Maybe they're coming out of houses on Broad.
02:44
We already did that.
02:45
We did it at Broad and Shore Road.
02:48
We taped it off.
02:49
All right, we see. Can we go back around to see somebody took a tape down if you want?
02:53
Or other personnel from South Beach to our location for traffic control.
02:57
Press the foot.
02:58
They might have come out of the driveways, I'm sure.
03:01
Okay, Andrew 333.
03:02
Then you see our takeaway?
03:03
Sure, a few to the dispatch.
03:04
Engine one, engine three, can you see our tape line at the end of Rod as sure?
03:07
Uh, I'm not in that area right now in the intersection.
03:11
I think the vehicle is actually the driveways on shore between broad and field point.
