Montrose Allen 203 .

Unless 202 thinks otherwise, I am going to stage at the northbound section of highway just past the whistle stop and make sure we don't get a huge pile of people up there.
01:07
That's perfect.
01:12
Copy 1623.
01:18
My crew's 202.

Yeah, CDOT's gonna need their big bucket and it's actually growing.

The mud slide is actually growing.
01:30
Thanks, copy. We'll monitor you out.

Sorry, I didn't understand what you asked.
01:39
What mile post are you at? Seventy-six.
01:48
Montrose, two of two.
01:50
It looks like about another hundred yards on up the road is another slide, just about the same size, blocking a road.
01:59
We got four vehicles in between the two.
02:04
Hi, copy. And when you say size, what's your size reference?
02:09
About the same as the one I just gave you.
02:11
Probably about 20 , well, 15 ft high.
02:16
On the bank side, down to about 3 ft on the cliff side,
02:22
probably 20 ft long.
02:27
I copy, 16 twenty-six.
02:33
The other one looks about the same.
02:35
I haven't had a chance to walk up to it yet.
02:38
Sixteen.
02:44
Okay, it's still on.
02:48
Still on.
02:53
That's where this occurred.
02:54
All right, thanks.
03:03
I'm assuming you're copying everything that's happening on 550 down by Silverton.
03:10
Yeah, that's a firm enough.
03:11
Updating C32 right now.
03:15
Perfect, thank you.

1628.
03:21
Okay, 221 and 491.
03:23
It's going to be the next road north,
03:25
angles off the highway.
03:29
10-4, that's what I thought.
03:35
491, can you hold?

Go ahead.
03:54
Okay, I have the road blocked here at the 70 .
04:00
I've stopped people from heading up toward that mudslide.
04:04
Hi, copy. Break in.
