00:00 their own safety. We're going
00:01 to talk about that in a moment,
00:02 but first, let's talk about
00:04 this. All right, Sky Fox over
00:06 has met situation at Perry
00:06 Bill prison. Now this is the
00:10 only women's prison. In our
00:12 state. Three staff members
00:13 taken to the hospital. They
00:14 were exposed to an unknown
00:16 substance. We don't know their
00:17 conditions at this point, but
00:18 additional patients are being
00:19 evaluated. So we're going to
00:20 get more information is we're
00:22 flying over. Now you can see
00:23 there are a number of emergency
00:24 vehicles kind of to the left
00:25 part of your screen that
00:26 they're going to be flying
00:30 over. And I don't see anything
00:31 of those inmates that are out
00:35 in the yard. So yeah, that's
00:36 that's the main area where you
00:37 go in and pull in the main
00:39 entrance and, uh, they've got
00:40 a stretcher there. Looks like
00:42 they got at least one patient.
00:43 You think about a prison.
00:45 There's all sorts of cleaning
00:47 solvents. And you know, I mean,
00:48 it's basically they tend to be
00:50 self contained. So you don't
00:51 know exactly what that entails.
00:52 It looks like they may be
00:53 treating someone underneath that
00:56 stretcher. And I'm not sure if
00:57 that's a prison or a yard.
00:57 That's a prison. I'm not sure
00:58 if that's a prison. I'm not
00:58 sure if that's a prison. I'm
00:59 not sure if that's a prison. I
01:00 don't have any idea of how many
01:03 fire trucks and hazmat.
01:05 Vehicles have arrived with
01:07 crews on them as they, you
01:09 know, try to respond to what's
01:11 happening here at the Perry
01:12 Vale prison. This is
01:13 interesting. So they've got
01:14 him. Actually, is that inside
01:14 the prison yard itself like it
01:17 like that's maybe some picnic
01:18 tables in the prison yard.
01:22 Hmm. Yes, I'm not exactly sure.
01:24 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I
01:26 don't know. I'm not sure. I'm
01:27 not sure. I'm not sure. I'm
01:28 not sure. I'm not sure. I'm
01:29 not sure. I'm not sure. I'm
01:30 trying to orient myself of
01:31 where that is. That doesn't
01:32 appear to be some of the main
01:34 like Mac security areas that
01:36 may be a lower security area.
01:37 Uh you know, and I'm just
01:37 talking here. They've had many
01:40 issues with. You know, things
01:41 being smuggled in over the
01:42 years. I'm not saying that's
01:43 this case here, but boy, that
01:45 is a big response. So we'll
01:46 stay on top of this and find
01:47 out what's going on. But yeah,
01:48 I'm counting at least a half
01:50 dozen full fire units out there
01:52 at the Perryville prison again,
01:53 their own. And we're going to
