to find out who the owner of these tracks are. Looks like it's going to be North Oak setting. Copy that. Would you mind giving them a call and telling them what we have here? It's at the intersection of all the Lawndale, like said. (name withheld), he wasn't able to tell a color on the jacket, was he? Any blue on it? Me and like cub blue? Copy. Dish, Blue. Be saying. Blue Two don't possibly like sleeves, black, like a vest-type blue. 10-4, yep, you sound that sounds pretty accurate. Okay, I had it in Springfield and I just... Passed one here headed back to the west, matching that identical with the backpack. Yeah, we're on 97. Go ahead. The situation has been mitigated. We're going to get a picture of the tank and clear the scene here in a few minutes. I'm out there or anything? I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Are you going to need to respond for anything out there? I wouldn't think so. It looks like it's for heating the tracks, so there's really no need. We just want to advise them all the situation. Probably going to be between the split and Farmingdale right about now.
