the3895.16 point3895.24 where3895.48 that's3895.64 a3895.8 topic3895.96 of3896.2 conversation,3896.44 the3897.48 chief3897.64 and3897.89 I3898.05 need3898.13 to3898.28 have3898.36 some3898.44

is3905.41 a3905.57 way3905.64 to3905.89 Just3906.13 move3906.68 into3907.01 this.3907.41 We3909.01 need3909.16 to3909.32 do3909.41 some3909.57 assessment3910.41 of3910.65 that,3910.85 but3911.05 thank3911.21 you.3911.37 3914.49 NICHOLSON3914.49 -3914.49 So,3915.29 the3915.53 next3915.69 model3916.17 we3916.49 looked3916.65 at3916.89 was,3917.93 basically,3918.57 the3918.97 20193919.13

partly3935.7 because3936.1 of3936.41 what3936.58 we3936.74 saw3936.89 in3937.14 2019,3943.59 there3944.47 was3944.71 dispatch3944.95 problems3945.83 with3946.23 it.3946.47 So,3946.71 what3947.03 happened3947.27 was3948.15 that3948.39 the3950.23 ALS3950.79 truck3951.43 ended3952.15 up3952.47 being3952.63 still3953.19 the3953.59 default3953.75 ambulance3955.32 on3956.05 the3956.44 first3956.61
