Gear Clear, I wasn't sure if OO has any way to help control traffic,

02:21

02:25
For right now, go ahead and show Rescue 9-01 responding to 169.
02:31
The air quick.
02:33
Do you want me to hold off on Castle until we confirm if there's any injuries?
02:37

02:39
I don't want to cancel anybody yet.
02:42
Medic 9.05, scam.
02:46
No, thank you.
02:48
The original call is going to be non-injury.

03:01
He made 1 to Perry 1202.
03:05
Got it.
03:07
I'm not going to need the spill trailer.
03:15

03:28
Okay, that's clear.
03:29
I'll be headed to get the spilled trailer.
03:31
Thank you.
03:33
Okay, I'm not sure what the roads are like in the city, but if it's anything like out, then take your time.
03:40

Okay, I'm Lane's.
03:57
Okay.
04:04
We are clear of the initial incident.
04:07
We are en route to the two jackknife semis, which I believe I both have the 169.
04:17
Here, quick.
04:21
24.
04:23
You get it.
04:28
So OSP is not out at the 164, can you wear 35 stop there, that's going to be the semi, that's leaking fuel.
04:36
EMA's in route with a spill trailer.
04:40
I believe they went to the 165 first, so USB does.
04:48
You're clear, I'm trying to get stealth-bunch the slide here.
04:53
Very fun.
04:59
9-1, just game.
05:03
9-1, go ahead.
05:09
I'm seeing with what appears to be our first semi,
05:13
uh,
05:14
in the median on all four occupants still in the vehicle.
05:18
I'm going to go talk to him real quick.
05:20
Break, medic 901, or rescue 901 to medic 905.
05:24
Now until ODOD gets out here,
05:29
we'll sit.
05:31
Okay.
05:36
So I try to stop as much traffic as you can't head in eastbound there around the Adamsville exit or an airport exit to try to get everyone to get off there.
05:48
Your back.
05:51
13, 20 new folks.
05:53
Good.
05:54
If you can relay that to ODOP that we're going to have to shut the interstate down until they can get out here.
06:00
It's too dangerous.
06:03
You let POT know that the guardrail on the south side of the roadway was struck,
06:10
and they'll have to check it out, Signal 7[1].
