In the plot of 98, a vehicle backed up into it. Okay, the meter is located at the space labeled 98. Can you confirm what evacuation we're going to need? Northside and some of that 98 trailer, we're going to clear the U-side gear units. I just want to confirm, so just to confirm we have an open space at 98, on the north side of that between 98 and 97, that's what the meter is located. And did you say that you've evacuated 99? and 97 and you're going to work across the street on the east side. That's permanent. Can you an additional crew to assist you and also do we need to start evacuating any of the spaces on the west which appear to be 105, 104, and 103. That's why? That's controlling traffic to the north and then you're going to work on letting me know whether or not space is 65, 59, and 58 can shelter in place or whether or not we need to evacuate. I've got an engine in a ladder that can assist, let me know if you need them, otherwise I'll have you manage that right now. Command hazard. Hazard. Okay, at this time, I just want to know unless you tell me otherwise, we've got an evacuation plan that's in place for space 97, 98, 99 with the leak between 98 and 97. We've got a shelter in place for the three spaces that adjoined those to the west and then we're working on an evacuation or shelter and place plan for the three spaces across the street to the east. That needs to change. Let me know. Hi there, copies. We're assembled now. I'm going to be making entry into the limited access, so I'm going to start taking measurements. Also, from our holes looking for migration. Okay, I'll go ahead to start a secondary timer for you. Situation plan that we have in place also would you do be a favor to start a secondary timer for the hazmat group? Alarm copy starting secondary timer at 14.02. Are 19, just over to your car? There's a minute I can't copy. Okay, control. Just be aware we've had a shift in wind or something. We're getting a pretty heavy smell of gas that is now coming south. If we need to start changing our evacuation plan, then just let me know. You've got hazard moving forward, so they're going to assist you with that plan.
