Fallen tree blocks lanes on Highway 71 near Wickes, Wickes AR

00:00

I have 306 .

00:03

County, I was on 21 with 307 .

00:07

He's 97[1] at that tree down.

00:09

He says right close to the lighthouse, just north of Wickes.

00:13

Says he believes county road department may also be out with it right now, but he's 97[1] .

00:20

Or we did get a hold of the road department, so they should be out there.

00:28

That is radio wants to get out where he was located at.

00:32

I'm still hunting him down.

00:36

Ten four.

00:43

I don't know if I can.

00:44

I'll be 97[1] down here.

00:48

This is pretty good size tree.

00:51

It is blocking the northbound lane, part of the southbound.

00:59

307.

01:06

307, 307,

01:08

307.

01:10

307, 307.

01:20

I can barely hear you on top.

01:21

I was 1928 anyway.

01:23

So I heard you say it's going to be blocking one lane and part of the other.

01:30

Yeah, we're going to work it.

01:33

I'm sitting here in traffic, but it's blocking southbound lane as well, so.

01:44

Yeah, of course.

01:45

I'm just coming by Polk 30 right now, but I'm not in your way.

02:00

307 County, you could get an ETA from the road department for you.

02:11

Let me, I will call them and I will get an ETA.

02:16

Yeah, I'm getting a call.

02:20

They cannot give us an ETA.

02:22

They will be giving us a call back hopefully.

02:28

Okay, go ahead and page out with fire department.

02:32

I can let ourselves and trip the sign there.

02:34

I'll have an accident down here.

02:39

Stand by.

02:40

02:58

County to Wickes Fire Department to the lighthouse and driving off of Highway 71.

03:07

County to Wickes Fire Department to the lighthouse driving off of Highway 71.

03:12

I have a report of a tree that is down.

03:14

Deputies are currently standing by and have requested aid.

03:18

The tree is blocking northbound, both northbound lanes, and is partially in the southbound lane.

03:38

Yeah, I'm headed that way a little faster now.

03:48

Moving out.

03:54

Three,

04:03

I'm on the phone with our guy and they're wanting to know if we are going to need a backup for this.

04:16

The animal's describing to me, I'd say that's ten four.

04:23

Ten four, 306 .

04:25

I'll let them know.

04:31

Three hundred and seven.

04:33

I did talk to our door.

04:34

They still did not give an ETA, but they are headed out that way.

04:39

They also will have a backhoe and a chainsaw.

04:44

Ten four, county.

04:45

It'll be all right when 306 gets here.

04:48

Just people are not paying attention.

04:53

Ten four.

04:57

County to 307, be advised, Womble Fire Department is also en route.

05:04

Okay, okay, bye.
