Echo 24, engine 8. Devtailing and Aeroplaza dry for a gas line that was pets. Responding with truck 8, please respond and command for. And just price, just responding. Do you repeat that traffic? Engine 8. Inge 11. Engine 8. Engine 8. We're just a few blocks down the street from Truck 8. We can take that call for you. This is truck 8. Engine 8, probably. Thank you. We got called for an odor of gas. When we arrived on scene, it's a directional boring machine that we confirmed hit a gas line. Utilities just arrived unseen and they're going to start digging to expose the line. Just requested an engine company for exposure line while the utilities personnel dig. We don't have any commercial structures nearby that could have a back feed of gas into them. Negative. It's a long aeroplaza in between two of the bigger construction buildings. All we got is an open field to the east, and it's on the east side of the road with kind of a park on the west side, so there's no structures affected.
