Run to make a transfer position. Hi, thank you. Okay, so I have a tow desk calling, and unfortunately it sounds like all of the tow companies have passed on this motorhome saying that it's a Class C and they don't have the right rig or capabilities of towing it, so that's why it got sent to basically like a stale status. They found one company at Burlock that says that they can take it, but their ETA would be sometime after 2 a.m. Okay, where are they coming from? Or why is their ETA after 2 a.m.? Well, I try and figure it out. 25. Oh, thank you. 5315, unfortunately, they don't know. It may be that they have to get a special type of rig. They're saying that this is a Class C motorhome, and their availability wouldn't be until after 2 a.m. You're welcome. Slide 1-5.5. Did you want to have them start that for now? Are you going to try and figure something different? I'm going to call Sergeant (name withheld), and then I will get back to you. Copy, thank you. Address near South East Wong Street. You're looking for a white Ford with plate (number withheld). Can you check? On the basement in Kenna, it's going to be a door near the laundry room. And if there's an alarm, that's still beeping. If it is, I'll have to put a work order in. You can tell me right. 1827. And just confirm you're with 112? Yeah, sir. Copy that 1827. Heading mileage 21. 1527. Two starting patrol, hookup, Plaza. So, obviously, 1727. Yeah, we're coming at a hundred 48th and Idy4 westbound. That's where are you? That was broken. In our rig cell phone, I can't get the screen to fire up. I do have my personal line if you're able to call that where I can be reached with BIP talk again. Engine 9, 124. Give me a call when you get close to your FMA so I can send Engine 15 home. They're at your reporters now. to that guy. Board, (name withheld), (name withheld). First of (name withheld), (name withheld), (name withheld), (name withheld), (name withheld), and (name withheld), (name withheld), (name withheld), an adult female. (number withheld)? N-186, 3-5-857. N-1857. The Veterans 999. 2799, go ahead. 5.1.5.5. Stand by just a moment. We're in 608, David, Queen Adam. Okay, standby. Code 3-39. Clear, 1829. Thank you. Thank you. 2799. 608 David Queen Adam comes back clear, very expired on a 2003 Toyota forer registered out of Milwaukee. So thank you. 1829. Yeah, 1829. (name withheld) (name withheld), Tom 3. Copy at 1330. Yeah, so we are going to clear from this. It's in a well-lit spot. It's not blocking traffic. Then I will probably have to revisit and come back around at 2 a.m. There's no need for anyone to sit on this for traffic control. Copy, are you going to reorder the tow later tonight then? Yeah, I don't know if they're able to have it on their queue just so they don't go home before coming to pick this up at 2 a.m. But I'm going to try to make my way out here. And their ETA would be 2 a.m. to get here or 2 a.m. to leave from wherever they're coming from. Let me give them a call back and see what I can figure out on that, and then I'll let you know.
