00:00
I was not sure who's already on scene yet.
00:04
They're going to get stuck in traffic.
00:05
The lanes are blocked if they want to get on and go east in the westbound lane from the 93.
00:12
It's all clear.
00:15
Ten four. You advise go eastbound, the westbound lane from the ninety-three.
00:21
One 415 . Five or four, just for your information, DOT is going to bring out signs and also bring out for traffic control assistance.
00:35
Ten four, where's the closest fire truck?
00:41
One 05:23 is on scene.
00:45
One five from one four.
00:49
Go ahead.
00:52
I'm at the 90 right now.
00:53
Where do you want me to set up?
00:58
You just go east of our location just to try to get cars to slow down.
01:05
And four, is there going to be better at the 97 or the 96?
01:11
Probably at the 97, but now there's just a lot of pumps on the interstate, and we get people coming too fast.
01:19
He was going to go all the way to 97, come back west, find a good spot to stop and slow everybody down.
01:26
10-4, Adair County 10-4.
01:29
10-4.
01:32
They've got a car over by the snow dump.
01:34
Can you see if they can assist? I know it's out of his district,
01:38
but so we don't have.
01:39
Have anybody create a secondary? We can get more help at the ninety-seven.
01:45
How far?
01:48
Even the 107 Dallas County could help out divert traffic onto White Pole Road.
01:52
It's probably the only road in that area that can handle any traffic.
01:58
Ten four on four.
01:59
So you want to get Dallas County and the trooper at De Soto to get them by the 100 and then divert them to Whitehall Road?
02:10
Yeah, if we can.
02:11
If it's blocking both lanes, we're going to start having people get backed up.
02:16
We probably better get some traffic there.
02:20
Ten four. Still coming up on it, yeah.
02:23
Zero one five.
02:26
One five, go ahead.
02:29
Just for your forty-three, the semi is on the shoulder.
02:32
It's on the shoulder out of the travel portion, but the flames were so big it was blocking
02:37
the lane. So as soon as the fire department puts the fire out, we can open up at least one lane.
02:42
Copy.
02:45
I am just coming by the ninety-three.
02:48
I got a fire truck in front of me as well.
02:53
Everyone, for right now, we've got traffic.
02:56
It's still able to go fast to about now, a little past
03:04
York Avenue until the 96.
03:07
And turn around here, try to get this slowed down.
03:12
1-5,
03:14
do we have any idea what's on the load or if it's at risk?
03:23
Jefferson County, 23.
03:27
015, you have traffic.
03:31
Just checking on what is the load and is it at risk?
03:37
The trailer's on hooks.
03:40
A ways away from the cab at this point.
