Okay. Circle 5 control. Go ahead. I don't have the computer in front of me. Go ahead and dispatch a couple sickles down there to relieve the district cars, let the DPW know what's going on. They're going to need to bring down some metal plates to cover the roadway, probably barricades or whatever else is necessary.
