And speaking further with the RP[2] on this, I've got some information where fire can meet up with the property owner to get them across the meadows.
00:42
So whenever,

whichever fire unit I need to get that to, let me know.
00:45
10-4[1], you can go car to car with 502 perhaps.

I'm not sure if he's responding on with the trucks.

Roger, I can't be a Coltman, a black forerunner waiting by some double case to get us across the middle.

01:40
Okay. Okay. Oh. That's another lower way.
