Batavia is also responding in some way; just saw their rescue truck go by. And a Pavilion pumper just flew down the road with one of their hoses hanging out the back of the truck, the metal end dragging and bouncing all down the road. Hope they're still useable when they get there :/

Give it a wide berth if you're traveling; there are also pickups flying in, out & around.
