Engine 5, do you copy that traffic?
01:32
That's affirmative.
01:33
Engine 5, that's 29.
01:34
Good 29. Is it just the saddle tanks or is it a tanker truck that's leaking fuel?
01:44
Hey Ron, how much Zurbald do you have on the rig? Well,
01:49
we can bring extra if we need.
01:50
We've got probably 20 bags.
01:52
Drop it. There's slow leaks.
01:54
They're coming out of the cap.
01:55
We've tried to do plug-and-dike on most of it.
01:57
Once the tow truck gets here, they think they can get it upright, and if it will stop leaking out of the cap.
02:01
So it's just the saddle tanker, not the tanker.
02:04
We can...
02:07
Affirmatives, the fuel to the brake.
02:09
Copy. We can also call Caltrans if you need something also.
