You have a fully involved trash truck on the right shoulder on the southbound side.
00:09
There is a police car on the southbound side that's allowing one lane of traffic.
00:14
I'm not sure how far back 22s is, but if they can shut that down, then a company can come up northbound on the southbound southbound.

We're a half mile north of the Cotton Avenue's southbound exit.

01:04
The police are letting the far-left lane shot-downs go through.
01:09
So if you want to work your way to the far-left lane, you might be able to get some of those people to move over for you to get through a little faster.
01:16
Pass the fire road, we're saying that now.

Shock 2 to engine 38.
02:15
Or shock 2 to engine 22?
02:17
2 to engine 22. Sock 2, um, Inj 22, what is that? The 8 on South Tech 3.
02:21
Okay, I'd be advised that if 38 does choose the northbound side, police will definitely have to shut the southbound side down because the fire is in the far right shoulder, so they have to come completely across the highway with the hose line.
