We can see visible fluid on the ground and we're going to see what we can do to help
02:29
either get a pop-out pool or put some oil or any.
02:31
It's probably going to require some cleanup by a spill company.
02:38
Nothing.

21 Command, we'll need somebody here to pump off this saddle tank.
04:47
It's got a pretty good leaking, still going, and it's probably about three-quarters full.
04:56
Truck one-five, go ahead.
05:03
Adam, command,
05:04
30 minute time check.
05:13
ComCenter to Adam, did you copy 30 minute time check? CommandCenter to Adam, did you copy 30 minute time check?

You can just continue time checks.

Time form.
05:33
So,
05:34
I don't believe there's enough room for us to pull up any further, just to what, you know.
05:39
Nice to have it still open.
05:43
Sounds good.
05:44
Go to TAC 1.
05:47
I am on TAC 1.
05:49
I tried calling you on that channel and you didn't answer.
05:56
Because of their company that they work for,
05:59
they're calling for a tow truck from Chicago, which is going to take a couple of hours to get here at.
06:04
I think it's obviously we can't afford to wait that long.
06:08
When we go to County Sheriff's Officers,
06:10
just making sure that that would be okay if we want to have him or not.
06:16
And also did you get the message that the tank will probably need to be pumped out.
06:19
It's leaking fairly steadily into our pop-up pool.
06:22
We have applied some oil dry.
06:25
Where I ran a little bit.
06:30
Command copies.
06:32
I'll be up there in a second.
06:33
I'm trying to coordinate some other companies get over here to pump out there, Saddle tank.
06:39
Sounds good.
