102, when you get a chance, could you give DOT a shout and let them know that we're going to have the southbound lanes at 295 shut down for quite a while here?

00:09

Von Fire is going to go back up, try to turn people around and get them over onto the frontage road.

00:17

Copy. DOT has already been advised.

00:22

Copy that, thank you.

00:25

Copy that, thank you.

00:29

1829.

00:31

Great Falls, 102, do you want? 102.

00:39

102, I guess I'll get this started.

00:41

I'm going to need a rotational wrecker just for the trailer.

00:45

All of the driver's side tires, wheels are melted.

00:49

Has extensive damage to the center of it.

00:51

It is bowed, so it has structural damage.

00:55

It's loaded with probably 35, 40,000 pounds of meat.

00:59

Half that's on fire.

01:02

The towing unit's fine.

01:03

We won't need a wrecker for that.

01:07

Copy.

01:11

102, bear call D1.

01:15

102, do you have traffic?

01:20

Hey, sir, are you wanting a large or small wrecker?

01:25

We're going to need probably a low boy to load this stuff on.

01:29

It's a fifty-three foot trailer, so we'll probably need a towing unit with low boy, and I don't know how they're going to get it up on there for sure.
