725, and engine 8. Respond to low-risk grassfire I-5 southbound mile post 256. Cross streets are northbound Interstate 5 Freeway. Northbound Market Street, grab the northbound Interstate 5 Freeway. Sunnyview Road Northeast. Dispatch Police Control 7. Police Manual 7? Do you know if there's a... Toe on the way for this tractor trailer. I've got a language barrier with the driver. Stand by. I got a couple things going on. I'll look at a minute. 12-7. Go ahead. From what I can tell, there's no notes in here about the toe. and law enforcement did not respond to the call, so I do not have any sort of tow information in here. I copy. I cannot communicate with the driver. If there's a PD or a CSO available, that might be helpful. I can tell you, SMP should be flooding your area about now, but I don't know if I can clear one of them up for that. I will do it again.
