on Millbranch.Okay, and I think they're coming through now. Somebody's emergency coming through here now, I can hear them. 244, you can show me in report. I can head towards the precinct, pick up this cone. 244, show me en route. 12 and 11 is going to be closed between Whitman. Millbranch will be closed between Whitman and Findlay. I think that's what he said, until further notice. Just advise, 2640 as well, there's a large tree in the roadway. Check. 265.Check.265. Yeah, there's a car.

Crews are expected to arrive soon to cut and clear the tree limb. Traffic is being diverted away from the blocked roadway.

Raines Dispatch · 0:28
EMA or whoever's supposed to be coming to cut the tree, Highland Yard or whoever's supposed to be coming, you know, put a barricade and maybe cut way some of that tree. Okay, check, 296. I'm going to divert northbound traffic on the Finley at this location. And the National Guard's going to have the north side of the downed tree. They're going to have traffic on that side.

The National Guard is temporarily managing traffic control at the scene.

Raines Dispatch · 0:30
296, be advised, I have National Guard on the scene with me here. They're going to temporarily set up some type of traffic control in this area until we get an answer as far as PSDs are concerned or any type of other traffic control for this area. Check, 296, and be advised, I did confirm with traffic that the PSDs will not be available, 296. Okay, check. With that being said, what would my supervisor like me to do?

Barricades may be used to block the road due to the tree limb, as traffic control is unavailable.

Hey, what's going on about the PST?Unfortunately, all of the PSTs are detailed for a 5k run. So, at what time, you know? Standby, I'll validate. And also, if they just can't do it, just go ahead and see if EMA or somebody can bring the barricades out there, a few barricades to block off the roadway. Because we're going to need it because it sounds like it's going to take them a while if they can't come out there. 206, just be advised, any semi-trucks that are going to come down Millbridge are not going to be able to get through unless they drive over. Over.
