00:00
Do we have this that on scene?
00:04
Copy that. Medic 15 and Safety 1 are also on scene.
00:10
If you will connect with them, I have confirmed that DFR doesn't have any inflatable that we can use.
00:17
So resources will come from town, and I'm still headed to Rescue Ranch to assist to get our raft loaded.
00:28
Copy, both coming from town.
00:29
We already made contact with DFR.
00:36
Continuing just for grins and giggles, can we make contact with any of our swift water team members
00:48
available?
00:55
Brock, now when you have a 2nd .
00:59
Yes, sir.
01:02
Talk to the patient on the east side of the creek.
01:06
He's in good spirits besides the transportation issue.
01:11
He thinks he might have lost consciousness briefly, but he has not vomited yet.
01:16
Feels a little nauseous.
01:18
Thirty percent battery power, and also probably needs some water, calories, and warmer clothes once we get him back across.
01:31
Perhaps instead of trying to do some kind of a high line,
01:35
maybe we can bring him down to where he can come across on the inflatable and out that way.
01:42
Any idea how far it is from the subject to the calm area that was referenced?
01:48
It's immediately there.
01:50
They're just below the rapids, and you can tell it's expanding in some calm water.
01:56
So I would say it's immediately there.
02:00
Copy that. So high probability that we could bring the subject across on the inflatable.
02:08
Affirmative.
02:14
Working.
02:17
Go ahead, sir.
02:21
I'm just wondering the best way to get this inflatable down there.
02:26
Might you have time to contact (name withheld) and see what best access is to that location with an inflatable?
02:40
Yeah, copy that.
02:49
Number?
02:52
Go ahead.
02:55
(number withheld), and he is on the loop on this incident.
03:07
Okay, copy.
03:08
So what do I need to organize with John?
03:12
I'm just trying to figure out.
03:14
Okay, we got the raft too.
03:16
What's the best way to get it on the water into the subject? Are we just going to manpower it down the trail? What's the best way to get this raft in position?
03:28
Okay, copy that.
03:29
And just for my own understanding, are we talking about a raft that's pretty heavy where we need four people to get this thing down there, or are we talking about a small inflatable kayak that one person can carry down?
03:47
Tom, if we had any contact with folks from the Swiftwater team, I know we have both.
03:53
I think we can bring a light blue one, but I don't want to make that determination.
04:00
Stand by, let me check some of these names.
04:06
I know (name withheld)'s out of, I think, D4H.
04:09
This morning said seven or eight days yet.
04:21
Should do.
04:23
He's the one I believe has most familiarity with that water.
04:28
What do we need and how do we get it there?
04:33
Copy, I've got him on the line right now.
04:35
It's been bogged back to you.
04:41
Sugar's also high.
04:43
He's conscious and breathing, showing a bravo response.
04:45
Time now 12:54.
04:50
Contact with (name withheld) from DFR and a couple of his players, and one of them is familiar with this lesser-known bridge called Walker's Crossing Bridge that's on private property
05:02
that's near the subject.
05:03
So we're going to see if we can get the subject across that bridge.
05:08
We have a forward staging area where (name withheld) is located right now.
05:11
We'll communicate back to him any of our needs.
