Hi, (name withheld). Just because I don't trust that emergency switch even though we should be able to, get them guys on the handline at least on air so we don't end up with third degree burns to the face like last night, please.
04:22
Also,
04:26
we only have a limited supply of tracked eggs here for the hatch, man.
04:32
I don't know what you can do about that.

You get 34 on next to you.

We're going to have one or two if we can't be else in a couple hands.
04:52
(name withheld),
04:57
do we have any idea from any witnesses on scene if any of that product actually was making it down into that storm drain?
05:05
Or it was mostly all burning off before I called 34?
05:10
Let me confirm with Chief Park whether.
05:12
I'm going to say it's pretty much just all burned off.
05:14
This is just the water from us opening the lines.
05:20
Yeah, I'll just, uh,
05:22
I'll get at the P.K.'s (number withheld) and we'll handle that internally then.
05:24
There's not really much recoverable, right?
05:28
Nah, we've got to be here now, Chiefs, so we're going to create a giant fan.
05:37
Okay, thank you.
05:46
Plan 8368.
05:48
8368.
05:51
8368. Take when you get a minute, if you can make a notification only to DEP for a case number, we do have runoff flowing into the storm drain here.

And the same with the county health department.
06:03
If you want to have them, they can contact me on my cell for further.
