It's securities level 1. Gas company is on the scene. Companies will be picking up.

Let me close my window. There's smoke with fire, so it is a pretty big gas leak. I'm trying to get a better address for you. Show me blocking traffic going southbound on Morgans. So, 43rd and Morgans. 43rd and Morgans, southbound, 10-4. They do have comments coming out already.

Yeah, you can hold 512. We'll be standby for gas company. The squad was able to slow the leak down. We're still monitoring, getting zeros. We'll stand by and wait for gas company. Okay, mean 512, being held 512.
