And break Tower 35, Repo, come in.
03:27
Alright, three pockets.
03:30
I've been copied your thoughts on that we don't have any exposures. Just want to make sure that so we don't have anything drifting into AutoNation looks like that, that's open. So just some air monitoring in the area would be great.
03:45
35 copies. Yeah, we're running out QRA through the AutoNation.
03:53

04:15
And I'll link up with Excel and give them a heads up.
04:21
Sorry, I just wanted to be clear, you get sending Bravo in for air monitoring and alpha is on the exposure line, or do I have that backwards?
04:30
Backwards, alpha will be air monitoring.
04:33
Bravo is going to be on the hose line.
04:36
Copy and I got a 31 standing by here, are we going to need them?
04:44
I think we'll be okay unless you see any need for traffic control behind you.

As long as they keep their doors closed, there should be no problem.

We're also going to shut down traffic exiting out of the Auto Nation onto Arapahoe, just to keep that area clear.
05:44
All right, copy the update on air monitoring, appreciate that, and copy you guys are doing more traffic control coming out of the dealership. And I got that 31s on the hydrant, but we'll just keep them here to you guys, size everything up and come up with a plan. We'll go from there.
