Law enforcement center, can I help you?
Yes, I'm over on Hamlin Street, and the people out in the back of the house here are building a dike,
are trying to build a dike around the Bronson property, which is reasonable.
But one thing that nobody is paying attention to is that the coolie is flowing into the storm drain,
there's no lift station operating, and therefore it's coming out of the storm drain.
Okay, you're going to need to contact the emergency operations center, sir.
I tried to do that, I thought that was what I had.
They've been evacuated out of the PD building, hopefully in the next five to ten minutes,
the telephone lines will be transferred then.
Okay, so just keep waiting, huh?
Yes, sir.
Same number?
Same number, yeah.
This is 7462685?
Yes, sir.
Okay, I'll keep going.
Okay, bye.
