ancient three-quartered for protection line. We'll have command, day 55.
00:35
Command, protective 5. Go ahead.
00:40
I'm unseen. I'll go ahead and assume commands. If you can size that up and maybe get
00:47
some stabilization on that and confirm number of parties.
00:49
Copy, looks like I got one here. I'm going to send them to the medic 42 for evaluation, then we'll start working on stabilization. Can you copy? Break Dispatch, 105. The 295. The 105 is assuming Centennial command. We're going to remain in the offensive strategy. Let's you go ahead and start a truck company this way. Have all units come through Gate 3 to Charlie 3. Copy.
01:18
I'll tell you the command, we'll start a truck company, and pay it for C3, 855. Command District 1. District 1. We've got both rides in the route now. Copy. We just got a biplane that's up on its nose, so just maybe get one strut on it and stabilize it.
01:41
Command, Battalion 3. I'm on scene at Charlie 3, please. Lieutenant 3 Centennial Command, you are clear to cross or onto runway 1028. You can come to my vehicle and we can kind of plan how to get this airplane back down.
02:05
Copy, and I've got Med2 and I believe Medic 32 behind me. I'll come bring them in to see. All right, all units, you are cleared behind Battalion 3. Follow him on the runway 1028. And engine 42. 1042. So this is leaking fuel.
02:34
out of what appears to be like some kind of pressure relief valve on top the fuel tank. Stripping near the hot engine, but not on it. We're going to try and find some plug-inike or a wax ring or something to try and slow this down. All right, I've got to have that come in as well. I'm working with airport operations if we can come up with a plan to get this thing leveled. If I think we get it leveled, it'll probably stop the fuel leak.
