830. 30. Yeah, talk to fire. We can open up foot traffic on the south end of the bridge, so they can walk through. I'm going to go over and talk to 14 and let them know. Alrighty, south end of the bridge will be opening up for foot traffic.

West end of the bridge, is that open for foot traffic? That 14 district on that side over there, it's going to be a state police unit. State police unit there?

812, I didn't copy what you were saying. 812, 14 wants you to go over by him when the 14th district shows up for the traffic control to help him under the bridge. And the 14th district is headed your way, so they just need to know where to go. 99, tell them to come to Magnolia and North, right by Home Depot. Okay. 832, can you show me going? Southbound pedestrian traffic, we'll walk to the cross of the bridge.

Was one of the people that called this in. Massive fire and smoke. Completely engulfed the north Avenue bridge over the river. 911 was awful trying to get them to understand this.
