I just arrived, getting ready to go through Moultonville.
00:03
See lots of dark smoke west of town.
00:08
10-4.
00:10
400 SO on 23, lots of smoke and flames underneath the truck.
00:17
10-4.
00:19
101 to 400.
00:22
Go ahead.
00:24
Is it on the shoulder or in the roadway?
00:28
On the shoulder, but just barely.
00:30
I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna block traffic for a little bit.
00:35
Like I said, it looks like it's getting close to the tractor,
00:40
so it's,
00:42
yeah, it's getting ready to light up.
00:47
10-4.
00:48
101-110.
00:51
Go ahead. I'm just pulling into Mullinville now.
00:54
We may just want to go ahead and block traffic, get the overpass there, and send everybody on 54.
01:02
Yeah, 10-4. I can turn around and go do that.
01:05
10-4, I'm just about a mile and a half from the scene right now.
01:11
10-4, I'm turning around right now.
01:15
10-4.
01:19
400-101, I'll make, I'll allow traffic to get around me if they go on the other side.
01:24
But it is, it's pretty engulfed.
01:31
10-4, at least the winds from the south.
01:34
Correct, and it's blowing into the ditch.
01:41
400 SO, we've got a little fire going now.
01:45
Got fire in the ditch.
01:47
Pretty green.
01:49
10-4, they are coming up right behind you right now.
01:55
10-4, I see them.
01:58
101 SO, I'll be 10-23.
02:02
1236.
02:07
400-101, you want to come around me and we'll see if we can make traffic.
02:13
Eastbound traffic go south on whatever this is.
02:17
Can we just run the eastbound on the shoulder and the westbound in the lane?
02:27
Probably could.
02:29
If fire gets here, they'll probably get it out pretty quick.
02:35
And 10-4.
02:39
400, we
02:41
could probably.
02:47
135 to 101.
02:49
I'm gonna block off Main Street in case they try to take 54 back north on Main to get back onto 400.
03:00
10-4.
03:04
101-400, I think we're just going to shut it down here for just a little bit, let them do their thing.
03:10
Yeah, 10-4, it's just over in the ditch you can see, so
03:14
I agree with that.
03:19
10-4, we'll just hold it up for a while.
03:21
101 SO, could you notify KDOT that we've got 400 shut down at (number withheld) in Kiowa County?
03:33
1238.
03:36
110-101.
03:39
Go ahead.
03:41
Yep, I've got 400 shut down at the overpass, sending them on 54.
03:47
Care ful .
