RATTLESNAKE

Work crews repositioning containment boom on the Laramie River encounter an approximately 4-foot-long rattlesnake on the bank.  The snake is coiled, rattling, and blocking the safest access route to the boom anchor point.  Crew members back away immediately - no one was bitten. The crew is unsure whether to reroute access, wait for animal control, or stand down.  This is a Drill!
