District, and I believe it was 7 Baker 28. Hold on, let me look back up and look at that again. 21, just advise, it's just one vehicle. It's going to be a Virginia plate, Reed and Tom, Charlie Charlie, 9106, and there's no one inside.

And be careful, they say they do believe somebody is stuck in the vehicle. Vehicle on fire, thinks someone is inside the vehicle. 28, do you have the fire department en route? I see this room. 10-4, they're en route.

I can say that sadly Ive witnessed with my own 👀 Fire & EMS attempting to race to an emergency but were severely hindered by absolute idiotic drivers who just kept all 3 lanes of Pulaski Hwy blocked up at a red-light never attempting to move over out of the way in whatever way they could. Obviously its always best to stay to the right but if we're all bunched in at a light then people going the opposite direction should stop/yield to let people move thru the intersection in order to clear a path for them to get thru. That light went from green to red to green again with the rescue vehicles still unable to get going towards the EMERGENCY they were responding to. Blew my mind that so many drivers were either clueless or simply didnt give a damn & wound up causing them to stay still for nearly 4+ mins which could've been the difference between life death or irreparable lifelong damage.
