Command Battalion 2. Command. (name withheld), I'm going to go ahead and assume command from you. I'm going to make you rescue group supervisor with Engine 13 working for you to understand. Affirm, Engine 9 will now be a rescue group. And I'm going to do another thing. Engine 13 officer from command, I'd like you to assume safety. You understand? Just 13 officer safety, copy. And rescue group from command, I'm going to use 73 along with just the truck four officer. They're going to come up Mesa Trail in his ride. I think based on my three words, we can get really, really close and might even be able to bring the patient out. But they're going to start moving up that way, so you can communicate with them as they move up Mesa Trail and start moving up to the My Three Words location. Receive? Yeah, that's great. I was just looking at that. Mesa Trail as a possible. Evac route, the trail that we're on right now in Roundup is a pretty narrow switchbacks that will be great for EGRAS. Command, receive. Also, can you tell me where the AMR personnel and their apparatus is located? The AMR vehicle is at the end of the Red Rock Trail, where Red Rock can roundup tie in together. The AMR personnel are with us making access to the patient. Okay. Is that a – where they're parked – I obviously don't have that on APO, but is that a location that – potentially we can get the patient down to or out to. Yeah, if necessary. I think we may need Stokes Basket in a wheel and kind of the rolling belay to get the person down these switchbacks. But we would be able to get the patient to that location if the Mesa Trail doesn't end up working out. All right, receive. Why don't we go ahead and start having the AMR personnel go back to their ambulance since they won't be part of the trail EVE Act if that's what we do, and they can start setting their ambulance up to receive the patient. Do you agree with that? Okay, firm, yeah, we'll send them back to the ambulance so you can be ready to redeploy a little quicker if we need them over, back over to the other side. Excellent, I think that's a good plan. Could you also give me that AMR unit number, please? AMR 91. AMR 91, receive, thank you. Dispatch copies all. Rescue group supervisor from dispatch. Go ahead. next to or near Brush 13? I believe so. I'm remote from that location currently, but that should be the parking area for both of those vehicles. Copy. Break. Command from dispatch. Go for command. I know we can't see the AMR rig on AVL, but if it's right next to Brush 13, we can see where it is for now until they move, obviously. One suggestion, thank you. Command from Rush U Group, suit safety. Go for command. We need one piece of equipment. We need the attachment for the stokes to the wheel. It's located in the back compartment of engine 13. SUV vehicle could bring it up to our location where it's the end of the two track beginning of the single track Dave, I had looked at the what three words on the map. Are you there at the what three words? You're with the patient now. Is that correct? Now, I'm where the two-track starts on the single track, we're heading our way up, but we realize we do not have that attachment piece. We just need that to be sent up if possible. Yeah, I think we can start on that. I'm going to have you communicate with 73. and see if they can come back and grab that piece for you. Copy that. 73 Engine 13. Over 73. Have you arrived yet? Yeah, we're on scene. We're heading back for your rig for that piece of equipment if you can describe it one more time. It's a small square metal apparatus with ratchet straps. It's the only one that looks like it. Understood. And on Engine 13, do you have keys to the gate for this park? The gate is open, but the city park key should work. I'm referencing the gate that's to the west that accesses Mesa Trail. Is that the one off 29th Street? No, the gate right off the parking lot down here, but just to the west. That's going to access Mesa Trail. It'll get us right up to you guys. You should have one. You can check on the Knox box key ring or we have a small box full of keys as well. It could be an orange one, I believe. It's 33 cars. Command from Battalion 1. Companies from Rastkey Group, we have made patient contact. Patients at the intersection of Roundup Trail and Mesa Trail. This is a stable patient. We're assessing now. We'll provide further. Dispatch copy is 11066. Command from rescue group. Command from rescue group. Yeah, this patient is right off of the two-track of Mesa Trail. I agree with your plan. I think if we have our personnel take Mesa Trail all the way down until loops back around to the east, we'll be able to drive ride up to the patient.
