On the car fire, 72 Eastbound is backed up to 6-rate, and I'm not sure we're 55 north pounds backed up to. But what's the ETA for I got? Do we need to get squad cars, slowing people down before they come to stop? 686 standby. Radio check one, two, three, four, five. Go to you. That's an avenue clear. Copyright, I'm at the very front of the scene with the truck tractor. Roll to Channel 1 when you have a moment. The motion 227 out 228, secure 30. Control from 55. Go ahead. The brakes are finished, and we are doing overhaul on the trailer to see if it got up into the side. It's blocked up to just past 6th Street exit, so if you want to sit on the right shoulder before 6th Street exit, slow them down. That's a great.
