It'll be the Dar Pro or Darling building for the dead truck.
00:21
Okay.
00:27
Because for your party three, I'm going directly to seeing I'm a propane personnel, so if it's a propane, like, I'll be able to assist with that.

Years back I was the first living in a vaccine out there and it could possibly be the same thing down in that it could possibly be the same thing again.
01:34
You were pretty choppy there. I just thought you had been out there one other time for something else.
01:45
Yeah, they had a, so...
01:52
It was coming from the, uh,
01:55
the light plan of these reviews and just in that area, exactly the same area.
02:05
Still couldn't understand anything.
02:08
Oh,
02:11
it's all I get it was five.
02:19
If you are able, could you just call up here?

273. The one's calling you before,
03:07
a few years back there was a real strong natural gas odor in that exact same area.
03:14
And it turned out to be the gas release from the fertilizer plant on East Dubuque.
03:22
And the wind was just right, and it was bringing it up there, right through that exact third area.
03:29
M4. I guess if that's the case, I mean, still worth checking out.
03:36
I agree with him, there was natural gas and was not propane.
03:41
But I don't cancel it on call on the dispatch duty that night and I talked to him about that because I was the one that reported it there that night, but it's exactly the same area, so it could possibly be the same thing again.
03:58
Important.
04:05
Several Grant. He was warned not to do that, and if he does that, I guess then he can face the consequences.
04:14
I told him the same thing that he should not go down there. He could not go down there.
04:19
He told me he would trace the consequences.
04:24
Well, if we have a report of dogs being stolen, that will be the case.
04:32
Tenform, I've added those notes to the calls of what he said.
04:38
Yeah, I'll be going through my video and adding more comments when I come back to work on Monday. As a matter of fact, you just email me that one.
04:55
You're agreeing the MMS, horrible to grant.
04:58
Do you got a caller that's going to be flagging us down at all? I'm at the old stockyard here and I can't smell nothing else this direction.
05:09
Negative. They aren't going to be there. They were traveling through back Dubuque, but they said they could smell it from there to just about Sandy Hook.
05:22
I'm going to put down the road a little bit further and see if I can smell it. I can hear a grain going maybe that's what they're getting the whiffles.
