Copyright. I'm seen at Drexelan, Wilmot. We do have a light powder spread all over the road for approximately a quarter mile. It's a dirt road. Engine 8.1 will take Wilmot Command[2]. We will be researching further. We do have the road blocked off to the south. Copy Indian 81 unseen at Drexel in Wilmot with a white powder substance on the road about a quarter mile long. Indian 81 will be taking command. Wilmot is blocked off to the south. And just level 1[1], level 1. 7-1, if you want to bring your monitor and manpower up here, we'll just confirm we're not getting any aeroslyzed readings. This is probably calcium hydroxide, generally called lime water. It's using mortar plaster and whitewash. It is pretty basic at pH at 12.4. Our main concern is going to be any wind blowing this around.
