Lancaster Dispatch, (name withheld) 9-1. (name withheld) 92. (name withheld). I'm at the railroad right after Walden and Ransom. I have CST[2] police on scene. Part of the rail is off, so right now they're unable to control train access. Is it possible as you to get troopers or sheriffs down here? I know there's a bona fide incident going on down there. with the fire and all, but railroad police is asking if we can get a hand down here. That's clear. I did have a patrol on location. It was the result of a PDO[1] accident. We do have all the information from the driver. I believe he's also one that called it in to CSF about some patrol vacancies. Clear, thank you can show me on location. I'll be staying with them until we can get somebody here just for safety. That's clear. Do you need a fire department there or will patrol be sufficient? Patrol will be sufficient. I know fire's got their hands full. This pretty much is going to be a matter of redirecting people. There's no active fire or life safety here.
