The state's calling up asking us if we're taking the accident.
00:03
We are taking this accident, correct?
00:09
You guys covered each other, 5-1, go ahead.
00:12
Affirmative.
00:14
You covered each other again, but I'm guessing Sheriff's taking it.
00:17
Affirmative.
00:18
Affirmative.
00:19
Affirmative.
00:20
I copy, and you still need the air out there.
00:25
Just hold it for a bit.
00:28
Come forth.
00:35
Stay sure.
00:36
Stay, go ahead.
00:39
Northbound on-ramp at near County K closed.
00:41
Where do you want me to set up for a closure? Do you want to pull closure and just leave three floor closed?
00:46
That's at 3-5 or 88.
00:48
Do you want to full lane closure?
00:54
Fire trucks are coming, they can stay behind us in the right shoulder in one lane.
01:03
We're good right now on traffic control and making a determination of shutting this down and diverting traffic off at near County K.
01:10
Give me a minute.
01:12
Copy.
01:13
Copy.
01:14
Okay.
01:22
4-5 to assault ice and leave.
01:26
Go ahead.
01:29
I think you said go hide for him, 5-1 said go ahead for him.
01:41
4-5.2 and I'll walk over to him.
01:43
(name withheld).
01:51
88 dispatch.
01:53
80s.
01:54
I just wanted to confirm, did you have Caledonia cars available to,
02:00
if we divert traffic off the interstate at near County K?
02:05
I'm. I think they were going to assist with the near County K on-ramp shutdown, but it sounds like state has that.
02:09
So if you want them to do traffic control on the northbound near County K off-ramp, just advise.
02:14
If there's some available, just advise us, advise me, and they can't...
02:18
We can just stand by at the near County K-E's front of the road.
02:24
I'm debating on shutting this down northbound.
02:29
We'd have to divert traffic to the alternate route, which is up the frontage to near G.
02:41
Hi.
02:44
Stay chair.
02:47
Stay here. Stay, go ahead.
02:48
One Caledonia squad is the on-ramp closed.
02:51
I'm going down to the two-mile turnaround in preparation.
02:54
If you guys do want to close.
02:56
My cap. Dispatch.
02:59
Okay, yeah, go ahead.
03:01
See if Spader, Caledonia can divert it off at the near County K northbound exit ramp.
03:13
Um... They can still continue down the edge front of the road to near G.
03:17
They won't see anything taking that route.
03:20
And there's actually barrels up there on the median side, construction barrels that those squads can use to get them off the interstate there.
03:30
I copy. So Caledonia has the northbound near County K off-ramp, I'm sorry, on-ramp shutdown.
03:37
States currently en route, turning around the two-mile turnaround to go.
03:41
just with diverting traffic northbound near County K exit ramps.
03:48
That's correct.
03:50
Two squads at first probably to do that at the exit ramp and then it's probably honest we'll only take one to remain there after they move those construction barrels.
04:00
Okay.
04:02
Just let me know who's moving the construction barrels so we know when that's shut down.
