Copy 1841[2]. 597-a-596[1]. Yeah, I'm just going to block traffic here at Liberty Northbound from commercial. Got two new vehicles. Copyi and then can you get me a list of addresses that still need to be evacuated and separate those from those that have been evacuated, please? 596. It looks like our target residents will likely be 5043 and 5041 that are engulfed. Anything east of those going out Cumberland need to be evacuated. I think 224 is working on that. We're behind an engine. We're coming down Sunnyside approaching through so we're coming in from the east. I'm going to need a unit to divert traffic, either probably Westbound Boone on Southbound from Liberty. The fire's hard to reach the trees here on Liberty. In fact, 21, I'm at Westbound Boone. On 7378, it looks like you're coming in from the north. Can you handle that and redirect? There's only a copy. Part, so let your review there. I'm at West Mountain. Okay, I could take the place that we did. Okay, thank you. Five minutes, I need someone building in Liberty just north of Salem Fire Station 7. All right on there.
