    • LOL their reply would probably be: 10-4 show us enroute and we'll be investigating.....(few minutes later) squad 1 to dispatch were did the caller report that the shells were coming from... Oh never mind it was us doing it you can cancel all incoming on this call. 🤣🤣😁

I remember when I was living in British Columbia up in Revelstoke it seemed like between Revelstoke and the next town Sicamous they had to do this periodically because it was a bad area for avalanches and it would hold up the traffic for maybe half an hour to an hour it all depended on the situation sometimes even 3 hours
