About 13 times multiple calls. First call was reporting a vehicle fire of a tanker that had white smoke coming from it. We've got a phone call from an employee at Aulton who is also a firefighter reporting that there is a tanker on 61 northbound in front of Alton. That's placard 1966, which is liquid nitrogen. The relief valve is blown. It's bending rapidly. They were trying to get the driver away from the tanker. 1311. I got it. Confirm at the report. Can you have a number from EMA in your eye? I'm assuming you're on the scene and we'll give EMA for you 1311. Yeah, I'm looking at it for my office security camera and I can see that it's been off at a rapid pace.
