I was told the funeral was 3,200 west on North Avenue.
00:18
I don't know, he doesn't know what cemetery they're going to.
00:22
723 can someone tell me are they moving at Washington looks like people out of the car up at Washington in Alaska they're not moving they can already cut it off so I don't know if there's stalls somewhere but they're not moving I see them pulled over on Pulaski by Madison they're all getting out of the car
00:43
All right, so they're stopped at Plasky and Washington.
00:46
The cars are not moving, possibly pulled over to the side getting on the cars, Plaskey, and Madison, if anyone's close by.
00:51
11-0 to Sam, is that lead car moving or they're stopped?
00:54
They're stopped, they're poured over on Pulaski, now they're blocking Madison, but the traffic is still flowing east and west, so maybe that's why they all poured over.
01:04
We can start tracking eastern west and they'll keep going.
01:07
1140. It stopped because of the hearse was not in possession with the cars.
01:12
The hearse is trying to get, as the lead part, to get the funeral procession en route.
01:17
They were driving on both sides of the road.
01:19
All right, ten floors.
01:21
Units that are out there, just use caution.
01:23
They're driving on both sides of the road going south on to last.
01:25
You use caution.
01:26
They're driving radically serving in and out both sides of the road.
01:29
Let's do whatever the hell everybody wants to do.
01:31
Why do you even bother?
01:32
Not like there's traffic laws or anything, right?
01:34
That's how our funeral possessions are.
01:36
Beginning of the end.
01:37
Let them through at Madison.
01:38
Let them through at Madison.
01:39
I'm going through at Madison.
01:40
I have East and West Block.
01:41
There's, there it.
01:42
Hillcock, some stoppage up there.
01:44
Okay. 1140. 40. 40.
01:46
Okay, squad. They're now proceeding on Tulaski going south.
01:50
Madison, the procession is in the correct format now.
01:55
The hearth is the lead car now.
01:56
Okay. Still southbound Pulaski and Madison, the hearse finally was able to catch up.
02:02
Now it's the lead car, south on Pulaski and Madison.
02:04
1132. 32.
02:05
We moved up to Congress and Flasky.
02:07
We're going to block westbound traffic.
02:09
We'll let you know if they go westbound down the highway or not.
02:13
Hopefully they do.
02:14
All right, time for us.
02:15
Let us know. They're still going southbound on Pulaski.
02:18
They're passing Congress.
02:19
North and west end by the firehouse.
02:21
I got the last car with me from the funeral home.
02:24
So if we could just block the intersections from here until Roosevelt or 290, whichever comes first, to keep this crap moving, that'd be ideal because they're already getting into it with other drivers that are going on the oncoming traffic for not giving way.
02:38
1020. They are continuing self-down on Pulaski from Congress.
02:44
All right. 1020, copy.
02:46
1020, I copy.
02:47
There's also now a funeral headed westbound on Roosevelt there crossing Pulaski right now as I speak.
02:54
All right, 1020 has a funeral that's at Pulaski and Roosevelt.
02:58
That funeral is going westbound.
03:00
So, Unitson 10, if you guys can keep our eyes open on Pulaski, not sure where they're going, but they're driving erratically both sides of the street.
03:08
So Unison 10, use caution.
03:09

03:37
So now there's going to be some conflicts here.
03:40
Battle of the funeral processions.
03:42
All right, for the units in 10 and 11, we have a funeral procession going westbound Roosevelt, Flasky, and then the one from 11 southbound Pulaski in Roosevelt.
03:49

04:01
Someone wants to cover the south end on Pulaski and see if they pass through this way.
04:05
Thank you.
04:06
Just hold the air, and then when you get there, you can hold yourself down.
04:09
All right. All right, 10-4[1].
04:10
So we're going to hold the air for both of these three-known processions.
04:12
One of them is going westbound Blackie and Roosevelt and the other one is going southbound Halaskin and Roosevelt.
04:19
1020 has eyes on both.
04:20
Plenty, just real quick, any of the DIOs out there? Are there going to be any conflicts between these two that we know of, since we know we both have funerals, or we've got no big deal here?
04:30
The funeral on Palisky, they're now out of the cars dancing all over the cars and acting like complete pools.
04:36
Looks like the one in Roosevelt has finished here.
