You get into Richfield, do you guys have a canine here?
00:23
We're getting ready to go on track right now.
00:26
Okay, we have ours coming and our drone to assist in searching.
00:31
If Mendota can make a perimeter, put people where they need them.
00:38

00:44
We'll take another dog as well.

where the Xcel Energy gas plant would be that's kind of our weak spot.
01:41
If we could get a couple cars either inside the gas plants on the east side of our perimeter or on the streets just to that gas plant would probably be our weakest spot.
01:53
They can run up the hill to the east,
01:56
southeast,
01:57
up into that gas plant.
02:01
Copy. If any incoming new, it's going to head there, and there is a neighborhood I see on my map here, is that acceptable, you think through here?
02:11
If they walk around the fence, the fence is a 10-foot, 12-foot high-foot fence, so it would be pretty hard to get inside of the gas plant, but they can skirt the outside.
02:20
It's clear-cut.

We were pretty quick on them on the north side where Lilydale Road is.
