Shorter period of time like a car crash, you know, may or may not close the road completely. You might be able to alternate traffic. It really depends. There's a lot of different scenarios. MR. AFRAN: So you don't know at this point to what extent the emergency services in the municipality would regard an incident as extreme so as to mandate opening these access roads, do you? CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: I think two things, before we go demographical. Two things here. First of all, that's up to emergency services department of West Orange and Essex Fells. You're looking for definition, those people can probably provide the definition. Secondly, I think we need to have the documentation in our hands first to see at what level access is allowed. Once you have that then you can ask the second question and then we go to the emergency access people for a better definition. Because we're looking to definitions. MR. AFRAN: Well, certainly that's fair, Mr. Chairman. I assume Mr. Pehnke can return if we need to following that documentation.
