They've got two different locations.
00:06
They have Long Hollow Pike and then I-65 south at Louisville Highway.

Both of the calls are coming in through Sumner.

Let me try and get further.
00:16
10-4, what kind of call is it?

It's going to be a fire call.
00:21
Vehicle on fire, standby.
00:22
I'm trying to read the notes to see if it's the same vehicle.
00:24
It's supposed to be a white semi-truck.
00:27
It's going to be on the side of the road off the exit ramp.
00:32
Did you advise which ramp? Which one are they responding to, or which one should I go to?
00:39
I have no idea.
00:40
They have Long Hollow and then I-65 south at Louisville Highway.
00:44
I'm guessing just go to Exit 98 and see if that's the one.
00:50
I'm direct.
00:52

01:03
You can put me on the phone.
01:04
I'm not to go to 97.
01:07
10-4, they've changed the location to maybe past Exit 98.
01:13
Yeah, that's our cell.
01:14
There's huge black smoke.
01:15
I'm coming up to Exit 98 right now.
01:19
10-4, they get.
01:21
Right.
01:23
Change it from south to northbound—the trailer is fully involved.
01:29
10-4, yeah.
01:32
Looks like THP is also on route.
01:35
10-4.
01:39
I'm going to shut down the Exit 98 ramp right now.
01:43
10-4.
01:45
Hey, when you get here, start blocking the number two lane off behind my car.
01:52
Okay.
01:54
I'm going to ride up now.
01:57
10-4.
01:59
Do you need me to control traffic at Long Hollow?
02:03
Where do we need traffic moved from?
02:06
No, I think we're good.
02:08
We just need to start blocking the number two lane to get the fire crew working up here.
02:12
I've got TDOT.
02:13
They're helping block the ramp right now.
02:18
It's just a trailer, there's no truck,
02:21
and it's exploded at least three times.
02:25
I'm trying to get to you.
02:27
I'm getting on at Long Hollow now.
02:30
No, you're good. I get it.
02:33
3034.
02:35
Go ahead, sir.
02:38
Should I get on at I-65 or come up Louisville Highway?
02:45
I would come up at Long Hollow because we have three engines coming up the exit ramp right now.
02:53
So you're going to be blocked down there.
02:58
Just to confirm, it's on the exit ramp, not on I-65, correct?
03:04
Correct, yeah.
03:06
35 on scene.
03:08
Can't block.
03:10
Is engine 41 on the scene?
03:15
Yeah, I believe they're working.
03:17
Yeah, it's engine 41.
03:18
10-4, thank you.
