Hey, y'all coming toward my direction.
00:01
We've got one small spot here.
00:02
I'm out of water on this engine.
00:04
Through the right, whenever you get down this way, I need y'all to get.
00:06
We should be good on this side.
00:08
Simple. We're in one particularly heavy spot right now.
00:10
Simple.
00:11
Update on the smoke.
00:12
Is it cleared up enough we can open the road up?
00:14
So one, it's still pretty thick down here in front of your engine, but the hill breaks and goes down, so I can't really see any further.
00:23
I'm not sure if you can or not.
00:25
Somebody probably going to have to ride through there and see what they think.
00:28
The engine is going to go down through there and check it out, see what he thinks.
00:32
I repeat your traffic.
00:34
Your engine is going to go down West 4th Street and see what he thinks of the smoke where it's thicker down there.
00:40
That's tenful.
00:41
I'm down there toward Memory Lanes.
00:43
Talking about as it was, I'm thinking that fire truck out of the road.
00:45
If we have to, we can get both lanes open, just let your traffic flow and get the trucks out of the road.
00:50
And let me know what you think.
00:51
Go ahead.
00:52
I anticipate it's going to be some type of issue all not long, but there's not going to be much we can do about it.
00:57
No, you're correct.
00:58
Does the county have a sign board that they could put out here on 4th Street for the night for caution or that be a no-go?
01:08
I've already checked, that's a negative.
01:09
That's gentle.
01:10
I think we're not ready to turn it loose here in just a minute.
