Yeah, contact with the initial call. 9-1-2. Are you asking if somebody has contacted her yet? No longer has her on the line, by the way. Yeah, does anybody we contact contact? No one-six. I'll take care of that. 1143. 1-2-2-1-6. Just ask where exactly see solid. So far, the intersection is pretty clear. Sorry, I've been westbound all the way to Headley. It's going to be negative on the... I'm 1620 carries well I'm not looking at it. Is it supposed to be in the middle of the intersection or in the intersection area? If not, check behind signs, many walls, dumpsters. 3-1-1-1-1. The call that states is in the median just west of the intersection. I think at this point, Nunes can shut down code 3 until we find there. 9-14-1-1-40. It's on the median, the median. On the medium width of the intersection in front of Lauterburg. You've located it? Yeah. What do you want? Let's start getting traffic diverted the opposite direction. Okay, one now two. Let's start off by blocking east on traffic. Let's have that ever heard north on Headley. Let's try to divert westbound traffic north as well into Kaisen Cruz. We all take Hedley if DSA wants to leave you once they get 23. So far, I've only got one ocean 2-1. 3, not Headley, 03. 1st 2-1. 1st 2-1. I've got a hearing route. Is there another... CFO to start over? This one to all be that. Dude, this is going to be a large area. We'll take all the CSO[3]s if we have them. Yeah, it's time for it. You need to build a southbound traffic on Midville, well, probably from starting at directsville. One time one work. 23 on Midvale. Let me get Ivan this package real quick. One three though, one time one, it looks more like a fanny pack. One three, if you can just alert sunshine, this is going to be closed down. Two, one hundred one six going to take pictures of the device. It looks like maybe old batteries or... One on three, let's start working on closing all these businesses down because they're turning into the area that's locked. Nine and one-six. So when you want, I'll just send you a photo right. Is there any other CSOs, they're a little clear? One motion two, so I can start off. Well, ocean 2-2-104. It might be better to shut down at Cuyahia Santa Cruz for all Westbound and just sitting them down and kind of say you kind of cruz. One question one copy. Who ended up at Oak Tree in Valencia? That's going to be mean. One-three to one-time-one. Do you need all those units there are with you or can they assist with traffic control? One time's very quick, is that for me? That's for one-time one. One-time one. Do you need all those units 23 with you at the package or can those atom units assist with traffic control? Let's start moving the atom units to traffic control. We've got to get these intersections lock down. One item 2-2101U2, I sent you a picture if we can probably send it to an EOD[1] unit. It looks like a transient 1801 bag. Maybe it has some batteries or hard drives in there. I'm not getting any indication that it's... Explosive material. One out of one. One out of one for? I'm blocking cell phone traffic. Westbound could be blocked by Thomas Board for Tyson. Timpard. Where'd you end up? I'm at Midvillevilleville. Blocking South Park. One-three to the ocean units that are approaching. When you guys can work on blocking between Oakley and Midville Park, Quivoli businesses that are on the North and South Service Street, we exit. These units leaking through the businesses going eastbound. I need to stop that. One item two, too, I'll take a position at the business egress at Blake's Flaudeberger and Panda, redirecting traffic to a westbound. If I need to hold off on shutting down Tatea Santa Cruz and I can use that unit to shut off another business exit, then I'd do that please. One time one. We'll meet somebody over here by the Chili's to shut this down. Marrivolta come across and go you found. Do I get the photos I want to sign up to EOD. 1-22 copy. 2-2 disregarding tonight. 21 sent the photo to EOD.
