Go ahead.
00:09
We don't have anybody else in route.
00:11
We do like a second page.
00:14
Negative, I have another unit in route.
00:16
We're not going to take this very seriously because it's probably at the gas plant.
00:20
We will check it out.
00:21
He's two miles south of town.
00:23
I'm leaving town right now.
00:27
This back is quick.

00:53
Go ahead.
00:55
A.D. is going to check on the interstate.
00:58
I was going to check the gas plant from the county road.
01:02
Just to let you know.
01:11
Clear right.
01:13
See which way the wind's blowing it'll come in from the...
01:16
Looks like it's blowing out of the south.
01:20
Yeah, he was going south of town, going to come northbound on the eye,
01:25
and I was going to, like I say, I'm going out to 300 and over, I'm relatively sure it's probably coming out of the gas plant.
01:41
It looks like wind directions out of the southeast, so that would make sense.
01:45
It would be blowing it towards the eye, so I'll probably just go down the draw out by Chats and see if it's coming across that direction.
01:55
Yeah,
01:56
wind's out of the south blowing to the northwest, so it's probably just taking whatever they're adding to the gas or whatever they're doing something out there would be my guess.
02:13
Fire 9.
02:17
On the eye, you can stay off of it.
02:19
18 said, is it the faint smell of gas when you just get by the gas plant, and the time you got to the pond overpass, you couldn't smell anything.
02:28
So I don't think it's anything to worry about.
02:31
I'll go out to the plant, see if anybody's there or not.
02:37
Yeah, I was never going to get on the eye, so that's fine.
02:41
Okay, White County, all could fire one.
02:46
Go ahead.
02:56
We'll get fire one.
02:57
Go for White County.
02:59
My unit 18 was on the eye.
03:02
He said it's a faint smell of gas coming from the gas plant when you get just north of it.
03:09
Said it,
03:11
the time he got just up the road a little bit, you couldn't smell anything.
03:14
It wasn't that strong to...
03:15
I'm going to continue to go out to the gas plant.
03:18
But that's where it's coming from.
03:19
Don't believe it's any problem.
03:22
If there's any more than that, I'll call back.
03:27
We're in clear fire one.
