(name withheld), go ahead. Just an update from City, they're trying to find those valves and one of them is essentially asphalted over us, McKellips. So maybe we go in and try to get that valve to break loose and take our pilot kit in simultaneously with the city trying to find this valve and stuff. out that way are you good with a reentry and attempt at that. As long as you discuss that plan with City of Mesa gas and if it sounds like there is not going to be another option because the valve has asphalted over off of McKellips and then it sounds like ultimately our only plan is going to be to remove that meter and if we want to start working toward that let's go to do that. Just be advised you've got a valve team member that's walking up to the... site right now. Okay, I'll come down to your vehicle and face to face with them. Okay, we'll hold them up with the combat post here. Rush 4.52. Sea Deck 12. Animal issue. 15537. East Mustang Drive. Brush 452. See Deck 12. Mark 2-1-0-1. Medicare response, 2-1. Ambulance, code 2, please. Can't be able to go-2. C-DEC-3 Difficulty breathing, 820, East Brown Road, Unit 73, META-204, C-DEC-3. I want to have to get too aggressive if we don't need to use those that can cause a spark, but there was some miscommunication on valve location, so he's going back out to McElps to try to get that valve house. Okay, copy, yeah, let's wait to hear back to whatever they come up with. And then if they're not able to access that valve and we do end up having to remove that meter, let's go ahead and reconvene on how we're going to do that. Let's make sure that we've got safety, everything safe in place for the handline for you guys, etc. Other guys. So I just have a plate that (name withheld) is calling you know that if it goes home, that's the correct one, right? All right, thank you all right. Go to the west entrance off of McKellips. They're currently in place getting ready to close that as well. Again, it's going to be audible alarm at Spirit Halloween, 3155 West Chandler Boulevard. This trip is from Interior Zone 3 and Berg Interior 1. We did go out there earlier today and employees were setting up in the old spaghetti factory there. Yeah, that's far. I held you lit this morning. Letter 4.52. Sea Deck 12. Animal issue. 15531, East Toconi Drive. Latter 452. Sea Deck 12. They have confirmed they have shut down both valves. They're 100% confident that that is all the valves needing shut, so we're just waiting for the pressure to bleed off now. Copy that city of Mesa is confirmed. Both north. and south valves have been secured and they're confident that those are the only two valves. We're going to wait for this to bleed off a little bit. We'll have a hazard go forward and meter for any residual. A welfare of an infant with the mother walking around about supporting the head of the child. The mother left the store is sitting in a... small blue sedan, one (number withheld) Chevy's Park. Chattel's in the front seat with them. Mother. No further lasting parked in front of the store. With that no audible hissing, you're making entry with Part 3 just to recheck to recheck to meter if we have any residual. McCalleman, alarm. Go ahead and restart the secondary hazard timer, please. Alarm, copy, starting secondary at 1423. Okay. I'm going to be at Shea in Monterey. (name withheld) 054 for speed. Item 8778. (number withheld) (name withheld) Osh 0.054 is 20 negative for 2024-2024, X ratio 526. We have a nice double speaking. (name withheld)'s command. We recheck the area. We're getting zero readings with redundant meters, so we've secured the leak with the valve team north and south. At this point, I'll go ahead and terminate command. We'll bring up this tactical channel. Crews can reassemble and go available, and we'll turn this scene over to city Michigan.
