Yeah, we're going to have to,
03:05
we'll leap it up to PSP[1], but we're probably going to have to set vehicles off the highway at the crash gate to get the battleshoots open so we get more personnel and equipment up here.

Just one heavy record, one more than one.
05:00
Well, they got two tractors involved.
05:05
There is for the tracks that left the westbound side,
05:11
or I'm sorry, the trailer that left the westbound side,
05:14
that's to that tractor,
05:16

Good.
05:41
Pima's also inquiring if any waterways are effective.
05:44

05:47
Appreciate.
05:58
County. I also advise to this Pee that they're not going to be able to make it up through the cattle shoots.
06:03
One of my rescue engines that stuck there, they're dead in the water that can't get through. So we're going to have to start moving one lane up to our crash gate and to open up the highway a little bit for more personnel.
06:17
2352.
06:23
You want to come in? You got PSB getting off at the 412 exit westbound to turn around, so they want me to advise them to go up to the gate, I will.
06:37
Yeah, affirmative, they're not going to get through.
06:39
So if you can direct them. And then let's get the unit up to the crash gates. We can get one lane open.
06:45
We can get our engine out of there.
