Stop the gas detector over the engine two before you switch units.
00:16
That board, sir, it is.
00:19
Battalion one, bring the rescue one. It's got the propane detector on it as well.
00:28
Chief one.
00:36
Chief one, engine two.
00:39
Go ahead, Chief.
00:42
Are y'all coming down 30 to 70?
00:45
Ten four.
00:50
Turn down crossroads and come in that way and then turn right on old 88 and come up through there. I could smell something when I turned off of Salina Springs, but it lightened up and I'm not smelling it down here at the sun gas.
01:05
10-4[1]. Turning on crossroads and what was the other street?
01:14
When you get to the stop sign, turn right on old 88 and come in that way.
01:19
Roger that.
01:26
Chief 1 to 902. You on 6?
01:30
Go ahead, sir.
01:33
When I left my 42 on Salina Springs, I did smell a strange odor, kind of like a gas leak, sulfur-type smell.
01:42
It got lighter and lighter as I got closer to sun gas. I'm down here in the sun gas parking lot now and don't smell a thing.
01:48
So it's going to be east of here, whatever it is. It may just be a blow-off.
01:53
But most of the properties around here are on propane, not on natural gas.
02:02
Copy. Central is 902.
02:04
The caller location, where was she located?
02:12
She was on the highway, passing through Highway 70 from the direction he's talking about.
02:21
Copy.
02:27
It's 9.02. I'm still 10 minutes out.
02:30
I'll let you all investigate and you can kind of put me in a better direction once I get close. I'll let you know when I'm getting near.
02:37
It's definitely not between, or it's definitely not here at sun gas.
02:41
It's going to be back towards the interstate.
02:43
Of course, I don't know how long ago they smelled it, whether this is just something blowing through or if it's, you know, still possibly a cocaine bottle or something leaking.
02:56
Copy.
03:01
Engine 2 and Rescue 1, y'all can both continue but down great unless we find something.
03:11
Goff.
03:13
Engine 2, copy.
03:20
Engine 2 to Chief 1. We're in the area.
03:22
Where in that city?
03:25
Here for.
03:33
Ended you to Chief 1.
03:37
Agent 2, go ahead.
03:41
We just turned on old 88 and we're losing the smell.
03:48
14.
03:50
When did you first pick it up coming in from that way?
03:55
As soon as we hit 70, Chief.
04:00
10-4[1] circle back around and then hit the north service road checkup around there.
04:08
Copy.
04:11
Chief,
04:16
It's 902. I'm gonna take the 114, take the service road around all the way until I hit 70.
04:24
10-4[1]. Engine 2, change your plan then if he's going to check the service road. I want you to go back down Crossroads, follow Crossroads towards 67.
04:36
104, Crossroads to 67. We got you.
04:47
Central 902 and Chief one I called the caller bag she stated she got off on 30 on the 70 is when she started smelling it and it got stronger as she got down highway 70.
05:03
Okay, for coming back east from SunGas, I'll pick it back up again about High Point.
05:10
Looks like it's somewhere we're doing High Point and the interstate I guess. I'm going to check Salina Springs and Smithford.
