Hasnett 14 responding. Nymphon 7 utilities have been advised. In 7, 2. June 7 arrive. Just imagine hazmat. I think 7's arrived in the area. We do have the odor of gas. We're going to make contact with the company on the scene. It looks like they might have been doing some instructional boring. I'll get further update in a few minutes. Hazel, you can continue in code too. Just much coffee. Hasnac coffee. Engine 7, Battalion 2. Agent 7 Battalion 2. Go for Engine 7. Beavised. Truck 8 is out of service if you need a truck with a Mustang clamp. You'll have to request the next closest. Incent 7, copy. That's Matt from A.7. As an egg late. So make contact with company. It looks like they are doing directional boring. We can smell the gas. I'm not sure where it's leaking from at this point. We're working on identifying and evacuating the residential houses next to the line. At this point, I'm going to probably attach a truck to assist with location and evacuation area. Has that 14 okay? You may be able to ask the drill operator about how far out his bit is, and he may be able to give you a pin, kind of a general location of where that might be. An agent 7 from dispatch. Is he going to start a truck company? Dispatch, if you could start the closest available truck company, Coach Reader the scene as well, and I'll establish command. Do you need PD for traffic control? We don't need PD at this time, and this will be Bidwell Command. Copy's Bidwell Command. City of Sanford assignment at 12 truck 10 responding with engine sevens at that clock and Bivol drive for a gas voter respond on expand for that from command. According to the supervisor They were unsure how far in they were at the point of when they nick the line, so they were not quite sure on the location where it might be. I don't know how far as they were... Copy. Just in for command. Just for your info. I had a company doing some professional boring. They're unsure of how far in they were the depth. Hopefully, they might have nicked the line. We do have the odor and obvious signs of a line that's broken but we're still working on location so when you arrive I'm going to have to you assist in seven with location tight depth I were if it might be truck then okay and do we have an odor inside any of the nearby residents system we try to make contact with the residents in front of the area and it seems like no one's in either stretch right now and we'll work on further evacuation. Is utilities currently responding to this call? I don't have an EPA but I did call them and give them information so they've got someone out there. Camarice, if you could disavising that, at this point, we are able to identify the location of it. Or unable. We're unable to, with it being underground. Copy. 7 from Hazanat 14. Command, go. From where the border machine is, where were they drilling to? And if you draw a line from there, is it all under concrete asphalt, or are you going to need heavy equipment or is this just an open field? Give you under concrete. Copy that. I may make the request to utilities that they start heavy equipment your way. Did you copy that traffic?
