to 322.
00:07
Everything is blocked up.
00:08
We may have to come down from the north.
00:12
I'm not sure if we can get across the median or not.
00:16
OIC from station, can you repeat?
00:18
Yeah, I don't know.
00:20
I can go up to Wheatley and come down.
00:21
Yeah, I think it should be all right, because there's nothing coming north right now from Martindale.
00:25
We're blocked up here.
00:27
You guys respond, but you might have to go up to Wheatley and respond down.
00:31
Everything's blocked off.
00:32
Okay. And 302, contact OSP, please.
00:35

00:37
They're contacted in route.
00:38

00:40

00:42

00:43

00:45

00:50
305 is heading up with 322 Wheatley.
00:52
OIC dispatch.
00:53
The state,
00:54
all traffic is locked off, heading northbound.
00:57
You're in route 77 northbound is a 139 at 2324, break.
01:01
39, 2224. I'm on public service.
01:03
I'll get you information.
01:04
Hold on one moment. Go ahead.
01:06
Chief Duo, I see.
01:07
Go ahead. Sounds like you guys are going to be entering southbound in the northbound lanes.
01:11
Everything's blocked off.
01:13
Nothing can get through.
01:14
There's a vehicle on its roof.
01:15
I'll get on northbound and I'll get inside the barrier and I'll make sure it's shut down.
01:22
That it's all caps.
01:23
That's clear. You want us to head up to Wheatley and then go reverse traffic?
01:26
302. If you want to start towards Wheatley.
01:31
What is the best approach for the afternoon?
01:33
That's clear.
01:34
Med2. If you guys can, come up.
01:36
to Wheatley and then we'll go reverse traffic.
01:39
Right now, probably coming down the northbound lanes.
01:42
Right now there is nothing coming north from Martindale.
01:44
If they know of a getting inside the barrier from Jens or 18, then they could come up that way, but there's no threat.
01:51
They won't be able to get here from Jets.
01:52
Met to get on 77 north and get inside the barrier,
01:57
and we can at least get a Med Unit 2 to crash.
02:00
So you're advising them not to get on jet and go northbound?
02:03
Oh, I see, can you readvise you got walked on?
02:06
That would be my advisement, if they know of a different way to come through the center on the other side of the barrier.
02:11
Betchaikobies.
02:12
SEPA 6-124.
02:14
Engine 1 in a row, the Wheatley.
02:16
Good. Scan it passed.
02:17
Yeah.
02:18
Engine one, you're in route, 23-26.
02:20
Just help our FD get down southbound from Whigley.
02:22
That's probably the route they're going to take.
02:24
Let's make sure everything's clear.
02:25
I'm sitting on the Wheatley Bridge now.
02:26
It's a ghost town northbound.
02:29
So I'm assuming they'll just get it, go against traffic.
02:32
So let's go, we'll just go against traffic.
02:35
Fast, it's fast to, let's head.
02:37
Go ahead.
02:39
A firm, nothing can get through northbound.
02:42
They were given instructions to go southbound in the northbound lanes.
02:45
The only thing they might run into is it looks like they're paving northbound, but it's on the far right shore.
02:54
And if you copy PD's traffic, they said you can't get on 77 northbound at Jen and get in the northbound lane.
03:00
I think what you're approaching is to get in on the other side where the fraction is.
03:04
That's clear. Metschew is going to be coming up from 18.
03:06
Engine 1 and myself are going to go up the wheelie and to go reverse traffic.
03:09
3.02.
03:11
OIT, NG1.
03:12
3O2. OIG. Go ahead.
03:15
CEDFPD can close off the rest areas.
03:19
I also advise the FD that's pretty sure diesel's leaking from this semi truck. It is up on the guardrail, and the drivers tell me that is diesel that is currently leaking. I got PD behind me on Brexel Road. I see you should be getting on 77. 3-0-2. I have to repeat. There was so much radio traffic. FD. is talking at the same time. We repeat.
03:48
Just advise them that the semi-truck involved in the crash is currently leaking diesel fuel. Copy, semi-leaking diesel. Dispatch to Mnette 12. Staff dispatch to Lieutenant Null. Back 12, go ahead. Go ahead. Just be advised the semi-involved in this crash, you're not copying Vass, is up on the guardrail and leaking diesel fuel.
04:16
Just to advise, per PD unseen, the semi-involved is leaking diesel fuel. Next all, Pappies. That's clear. Is Richfield responding? Sir. Chief 2, dispatch. Chief 2. I'll be on scene. 77 command.
04:45
Chief 2, you're unseen 77 command at 2329. Chief 2 dispatch. Chief 2. I got a truck partially over the median wall and a vehicle on its roof. Truck over the median wall and a vehicle on its roof at 2329. 20 minutes. Chief 2, engine 1.
05:14
Go ahead, engine one. You can go reverse the traffic. Copy, we're getting on at Wheatley. Space Engine 1 from Richfield, Pact 12. Back 12, go ahead. If you get on Wheatley, you're going to have construction crews in the...
05:44
left-hand side, you're driving south into northbound lane, so you're going to have to merge the right side of the road. Copy. C2 from that 2 we're approaching. Okay, you can just park behind my vehicle. That's clear, show that 2 on 2.
06:09
Next year, I'm saying 2330, June. Medic 12. Medic 12.
