Risky's 40, M. 16, so it is 270 northbound.
00:08
140, you have a better location. I'm not seen on the freeways on the ramp.
00:13
Tell you in 181.1 to all companies.
00:20
...on to the traffic.
00:22
A repeat nod to the traffic.
00:25
I don't have a better L. It's possibly related to the semi on the ramp at 70 Westbound and 270 Southbound.

Italian 181, the companies en route, is in the express lane, not the local lanes.

00:55
You go ahead and go to service.
00:57
Just tie up Medical 181 and engine 181.
01:04
Blum was fired to Battalion 6.
01:07
We've got another incident out that way with a semi with a ruptured fuel tank.
01:15
It could be on the other side of a freeway from you there.
01:21
Okay, do you want me to clear? Can you clear me and send me a card, sir?
01:27
140. It looks like it's possibly just before the 70 split, so 270 North Mountain 70.
01:36
Okay,
01:40
I can clear you.
01:43
I'll put on it. Right now, it looks like...
01:49
Medic 32 and engine 16 are on the scene. All right, you took?
01:55
Engine 181, Columbus Fire.
01:58
Engine 181, go.
02:00
You can contain this with Engine 181 and Medic 1-81, and we'll move over to 9-exercation. You can have your battalion channel back.
02:09
All right, sir.
02:12
Columbus Fire, Battalion 6, they're operating on 9-execation at the moment.
02:21

You do have a car on its top, and a part of it is in the lane,
02:36
not it's a curb lane, but it's in the express lane.
02:40
So this is at 270 before exit 41 northbound,
02:47
and it's right over top of 70 east and westbound.
02:53
I copy that at 270 northbound just before exit 41.

162, Station 4.
04:16
Yes, sir, quick question. Is this something you think some plug-and-dike would work with or if we could get out a wood plug for the mallet? Maybe we can throw that up with hammered in?
04:30
Wood mallet might be questionable.
04:33
He hit the Jersey barrier right on the side of that tank and there's just a crack at the bottom.
04:37
It's going to be hard to get a plug, maybe some plug-and-dike.
04:41
Yeah we got some of that coming out with us. All right, we get that 20 bags absorbing. Is that going to be enough for you guys?
04:48
Yeah, that should do. It's with this rain. It's washing all the way on us.
04:53
Copy. We're heading out now.
04:54
You got a station truck four on your way.
04:58
Nice to see you, thank you.
04:59
Thank you.

Apparently out of this they were talking to fire and the driver this took off.
