Hertz has done it a couple of times we've received two callers on this, so our pictures have passed.
01:03
They're to help you out as well, I just want to know as far as traffic goes.
01:06
You know, traffic is still going in both directions,
01:09
and we're unable to block off this slow lane.
01:12
We still have some people driving in that lane, essentially causing accidents.
01:16
Yeah, I copy that.
01:17
So I want to confirm also.

Stig. I'll be rigged at 156.
01:23
Nick, one on the test, since you're on scene already, why don't you go ahead and get a tactical channel so we don't tie up C4 so you and I can take in better communication until we get there? And also, do you think another unit would suffice?
01:35
That's the permanent.
01:36
Maybe one more engine to help with traffic control so PD gets this under control.
01:41
Then we'll take our traffic to C2 for alarms discretion.
