We've met up with BLM.

They're still gathering some information, so we're still staged at the end of that dirt parking lot.

Four four.
00:53
So it sounds like the patient's up Ash Springs Trail.
00:58
For the PR, it's not bad of a hike.
01:01
He's down a couple feet.
01:02
Doesn't sound like we're going to need ropes or anything like that, but we're going to need to bring him up.
01:06
Probably utilize steel to bring him back here.
01:11
That's per what BLM says and I also have an update on coordinates that I can give you once we get up here.
01:21
Red Rock Command from Heavy 54.

I got the same information and I'm here with BLM at the trailhead, which they said that we should use.
01:51
I copy that.
01:52
We'll get our Stokes and our Big Wheel together and I'll come up there and meet you.
02:04
Chief, let's utilize Engine 28 as the command post.
02:08
Have multiple BLM officers up here if you want to report up to where the trailhead is, and that way you can go between BLM and us.
02:21
Chief, just an update.
02:22
We got the coordinates.
02:25
We're going to wait on city's heavy mule to utilize as a patient transport out.
