To U.S. Forest Service and see if they're able to do a short haul.
00:04
It is quite windy at this location.
00:10
I
00:21
see. Dispatch.
00:27
I see.
00:31
What
00:32
LZ do you want to use? Eight five Carol called and said Jackson left, but it is no longer an option.
00:42
My understanding is that LZ is determined by the flight crew.
00:51
For this location, the closest LZ that I know of will be the ball field, and we'll request assistance from Bar Harbor Fire to set that up.
00:58
After high.
01:02
I see that going.
01:12
I'm on scene with (name withheld).
01:14
Just to confirm, it is right above both sections of the ladder after the Talus Cave break.
01:28
Patient's currently comfortable, has family with her.
01:32
We're going to be doing some hypothermia support.
01:36
If whoever brings the litter up could bring some waters and maybe some hot hands and the star truck for responding units, that would be great.
01:49
Ten four. And be advised, we're in contact with the forest service to see about the viability of a short haul.
01:59
Roger.
02:04
Forest Ranger 4113, if you can ask for park dispatch.
02:11
Go ahead.
02:14
Yeah, we're getting a crew together for a short haul.
02:16
Probably about 45 minutes, I would say.
02:21
Copy that. Thank you.
02:25
4113, I
02:33
copy that information about Jackson Labs no longer being an option.
02:36
We can use the ball field if that works for you guys.
02:42
That's affirmative.
02:43
Break. Dispatch, I see.
02:44
Can you please contact Bar Harbor Fire, request that set up.
02:56
Clarification.
02:57
Setup is not immediate.
02:58
It's just depending on the timeline of the forest service getting down here.
03:11
IC 204, I'm copying all from headquarters.
03:16
I can always head to Ballfield too to help
03:19
coordinate that if need be.
03:21
Just let me know what you need.
03:24
Copy.
03:29
From Gould.
03:30
Go
03:36
ahead.
03:40
Yes, from call.
03:45
Go ahead.
03:48
Do you need rope and system kits to move the patient prior to short haul?
03:56
Yeah, we're not in a great spot right here, so I'll bring the bag, some extra warming supplies, and a rope bag, system kit, please.
