| 0:00.0 | This is Renegade Talk Radio. |
| 0:04.3 | We are back at the Double B Studios once again, and how can this happen? |
| 0:14.4 | This is Betsy Bell, and today is Friday. |
| 0:20.5 | We are happy for the end of the week because we all need a weekend. |
| 0:25.8 | But that doesn't stop the news from rolling on. |
| 0:32.4 | And we are talking on Friday about the interstate highway, I-15, and it's running between California and Nevada. |
| 0:45.5 | Specifically, all routes to 15 go to and from Las Vegas, Nevada. |
| 0:52.4 | Points beyond Las Vegas are also accessible via I-15 as well. |
| 0:59.2 | The northbound I-15 freeway is again fully open. |
| 1:07.5 | And that happened as of around 4.30 a.m. Sunday. After a two-day closure due to a hazardous materials incident, involving a lithium battery fire. |
| 1:22.6 | The northbound 15 freeway lanes in Baker had been closed since Friday, July 26th, after a semi-truck |

| 2:16.1 | fire, use of foam extinguisher, CO2, A.B.C. dry chemical, powdered graphite, copper powder, or soda, sodium carbonate, as you would extinguish other combustible fires. Oh, okay. Every one of us has all of these |
| 2:43.7 | items at our fingertips, right? Apparently the fire department does too. Oh, but it took them two days. I think that fire is still burning. I'm not sure. I wonder what the ticket to the taxpayers is on this little supply reserve the class D extinguishers for lithium metal fires only. I guess the handiness of |
| 3:14.5 | these materials to stop a battery fire are not very readily available. I can't believe that |
| 3:23.1 | all those cars were sitting on that freeway overnight |
| 3:27.4 | until Saturday morning. People slept in their cars? If you have ever been on I-15, |
| 3:38.0 | you understand that parts of it are not within a side road that could give you an escape route. |
