603. 603 go. Yeah, 603 go.
02:34
Shut traffic down before the I cell cell.
02:39
Um... We can't let any trucks come by. They're going to have to go around the church there and come back around on this side of the high lines that we've got down.
02:49
I'm going to open up traffic. We've got to, we've got to open this back up with two lanes out there. We're just having to shut down on one lane.
02:58
Rescue two on the scene now, where do you want to them?

Take them down Highway 6,

about 2 or 300 yards so they can slow traffic down.

603, can we send them around behind the apartment until we get those highway cleared?
03:18
We can do that.

We're going to have to set the entire highway down to get the semi out of here. Two stories.

We're going to shut it down there at Nobion's place, running around in behind the apartment,
03:34
send them back the same way from the west.
03:42
If it's a big semi, they may have to just stand by and we'll get that road open.

Can you notify TxDOT if we get some help?
04:09
704, can we run trucks back behind the apartment? I don't think we can.
04:13
I think we get too low a high line.
04:20
If they'll clear the fire line here that's down on six, we can turn them here on Pecan and go behind the courthouse.
04:27
I think that's going to be the better route.
04:34
Rescue 2, you copy that traffic.
