Medic 1 to Columbus, this will be 71 southbound, underneath a 670 eastbound bridge. Looks like there's multiple vehicles involved. We're going to loop up to 11th and come back down. They got traffic stopped. It's blocking 71 south. Medic 1 to Medic 18, if you can tend it down further south, you'll run into it. Do we have any key holder information on this home? 1219. 1229, go ahead. 37211. 37211. Go. 9130, they're radioing it. 9130. Yeah, I'll have code 3 out of this 51 to Jack. 1222 TV. Go. 19557. Copy. 020, were you going to assist with them diverting?
