Do you need additional personnel besides the ambulances.
02:38
I don't believe so. I think everybody out here is pretty much walking wounded, but I definitely want them to get checked out because they're all complaining of some burning in their throats, some short of breath, but none of them is in like major distress. I think we've got to handle.
