Okay, we've one-on-fives that one.
00:17
Ten-four. On west main by the railroad tracks, you said?
00:23
A central car station, special attention highway, 21 southbound from the 85, 23 southbound from the 85 mile marker, part of a light blue cab semi, with boss transport on the side, a white trailer, arpaidized vehicles, speeding, leading through traffic, and found make your case, drop state clear, 17.
00:44
There's a crossing down there, and there's,
00:47
it's before the cross, the actual crossing on West Main.
00:52
Goes by Lyons. It's Lyons. It's back there.
00:56
Leapes, whichever one's back there. It's along the railroad track.

I'm on 7. I was just finding it on my portable.
01:07
Okay.
01:09
Where are you at?
01:11
I know it's not great.
01:14
We are 108 on the tracks.
01:17
On West Main, you go to the east,
01:20
and there's a small fire along the tracks.
01:23
It's by that, like, rich farmer's house.
01:26
Ten, four, can we get to it from a road, or do we need to come down the track?
01:35
Unit 7 from 101, I believe it's going to be near West Main.
01:40
I'm currently walking down the tracks to the east just from that crossing.
01:45
I'll think you're going to be able to bring a truck down through the tracks here.
01:50
Your best guess is either on foot or a small utility vehicle?
01:56
10-4[1]. I'll head over that way. We just got this one done.
02:00
Ten, four. Again,
02:02
I'm walking over to it now. It's small enough, so I might just try to get it put out with our vehicle equipment.
02:08
Based unit seven, you must bring that side by side.
02:12
Tim, do we need to be worried about him starting more fires, or is this something different?
02:19
All cars all station, special attention, 80s bond for the zero two mile marker, 80s from the 202 mile marker, probably moving road hazard, for a semi that has no taillights on. The only description given is it's sturdy and has no lights.
02:33
Again, 80s fund from the 202 for a semi with no tail lights.
02:37
It is what they make your case. It's definitely clear as 1746.
02:41
I'm unsure of that at this time.
02:44
Dispatch advised that he was reported to be laying down next to one of the fires.
02:48
I did not observe him at that first one.
02:51
I don't know if you guys did.
02:54
Obviously, I'm approaching this one, so we'll see.
02:57
Yep.
02:58
Next to Unit 7. Do you want us to bring the side by side?
03:02
Stand by. I'll put it over there right now. I'll see if they got it or we're going to need it.

Just stand by.
